lilo troubles of my own



I'm trying to install on a server here.  The machine has a Tekram
(sym8xxx) SCSI card, and an IBM LVD scsi drive.  I low-leveled the drive
(ala Tekram support).  I installed Linux, it didn't boot.  I installed
dos, it didn't boot.  Under dos I did fdisk /mbr, and then DOS booted
(the lowlevel wiped the MBR).  I re-installed Linux and it still won't
boot.  I don't get LI, I don't get LO...I get Missing Operating System.

If I can boot dos from the HDD, then this is a LILO problem, right?  I
told Smackware setup to write LILO to the MBR, and I refreshed lilo
after I installed the kernel...what gives?
