I believe 03:08 is /dev/hda8.  If something is wrong with that
partition, or you didn't really put your root file system on /dev/hda8,
neither your floppy nor any other boot system will be able to start up
linux with root on 03:08.  What's really on /dev/hda8?  If you think your
root is somewhere else, such as /dev/hda2, specify root=/dev/hda2 at the
lilo prompt during boot (or do the equivalent with grub if that's what you
use).
