Did you use the smae floppy for make zidsk and "lilo" if so thats the

You would then have overwritten your lilo floppy with a kernel image.

The "L-" indicates that you possably have overwritten your lilo boot flop.

No you can have up to 30 different enteries in /etc/lilo.conf.
It seems like its time to install lilo on your Hardrive..
