im not sure, but if your installing to /dev/hda1, you dont have another partition u wish to boot onto, and u dont need lilo.

I suggest, before u run dsl-hdinstall, you run:

sudo -u root cfdisk

from here you can set hda1 to Bootable.

After installing dsl, dont run mklilo. When you reboot it should boot straight into dsl.
