The FM to read for all lilo problems is the README that comes with the
lilo soource. :-). Since you are so sure of the 0x10, I'll extract
that for you, but it doesn't look good.

If the BIOS signals an error when LILO is trying to load a boot image,
the
respective error code is displayed. The following BIOS error codes are
known:
0x10 "CRC error". A media error has been detected. Try booting
several
times, running the map installer a second time (to put the map file
at
some other physical location or to write "good data" over the bad
spot), mapping out the bad sectors/tracks and, if all else fails,
replacing the media.

Bring along a good boot floppy or two, and a rescue root floppy could be
a good idea. I hope it won't be necessary. :-)
