Ah, that is the problem...
Have you tried loading the kernel like this, from the lilo prompt:
linux 3 root=/dev/sda?
where ? is the partition where you have the root directory installed?
Or is the problem that your kernel cannot access the scsi disks because it lacks SCSI
support? (In which case I would not know what to do.)
(I have not yet managed to get this command working from Grub)
Hmm. Perhaps you can create a dos boot diskette with scsi support for your disks and
cdrom, and go for a text-install from there. Perhaps that gets you in the right
direction.
(THis is just a thought, not a proven way to go.)
Good luck / groeten uit Nederland
