Did you rerun lilo after all the changes.?
Does the dos partition have the bootable flag set.??
use fdisk with the p option to check, there should be a (*) asterisk shown in
the "Boot" field.
Futher more, the way you have setup your partitions is not going to work very
well either, 100M for /usr is too small, 100M for /tmp is far too large, but
why define /tmp anyway.? Really on an end user machine, (i am presuming that
fact) 600M for /home is also on the large side.
