===============================
Once you've booted in with the floppy, try running /sbin/lilo from a command
line. This should enable you to boot from the HDD next time. If not, you may
have to edit /etc/lilo.conf to make sure that your boot is for hda rather than
hdax (where x is some number).

Some info on your set up might be helpful. How much RAM? How big a swap
partition? CPU? etc......
