xcoil!I have had similar problems installing DSL to hd. It didn't work if I had two windows-partitions for example. And I have only one harddrive. So I think that it will not work making a hd-install on a slightly complicated setup. For now I have DSL installed on hda3. After deleting my second windows-partition I could install DSL to my harddrive. I think that DSL hd-install has to be seen as a little bit experimental for now.
Keep on having fun,
meo

xcoil,i suggest you to visit TOMSRTBT page: www.toms.net/rb/
download tomsrtbt, make a floppy install, boot it from floppy.
Log as root, xxxx. Make a dir for mounting your root part:
mkdir /mnt/hd1
Mount your root partition:
mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt/hdb2
Now run lilo as from your linux installation:
chroot /mnt/hd1 /sbin/lilo
This should repair your lilo, or at least it will bring up some news about your install.
Good luck:)
