I always put lilo on the hard drive mbr. It sounds like you created a 'boot
disk required' situation - server admins do that a lot to (help) keep
control over the server (it won't boot without the floppy). But when you
had trouble creating the boot floppy, something got messed up.
Running off that, I can't mount anything from the

It recognises them, but won't let you mount them? What error messages do
you get?
