I had the same problems.
I read somewhere in the LILO docs that lilo uses the geometry of the
current root device when writeing setup data and that in order for it
to work correctly you had to have that device running as the root
dev.
I was able to make a CF boot with lilo by first booting off a
harddrive with the kernel setup to mount the CF on hdb1. Copied the
kernel onto the CF and changed the root device to be /dev/hda1.
Modified the lilo.conf for hdb and added the bios= flag so that this
device would be hda when it booted. Then re-ran lilo.
Although that worked I decided to switch to syslinux.
Also have you looked at GRUB? I have been hearing some good things
about it lately.
