[ale] I'm making errors with LILO

I just recently had this same problem on a machine.  I'm not sure of
the technical aspects causing my problem or yours, but here's the fix
I used.

   Under DOS run "fdisk /mbr" to return the master boot record to a
	   normal state
	Reinstall LILO to the master boot record.

If this doesn't work, I don't know what to do next.
If it does work, thank Gareth Williams as he is the one the gave
me the solution for my problem.
