Hello Mario,

maybe you have to reinstall lilo manual.

1. Mount the tomsrtbt disk image via loopback, for example:
mount -o loop -t minix ./tomsrtbt-2.0.103.288.img /mnt/tomsrtb

2. Create your lilo.conf.

For example a working lilo.conf could look like this:

--------------------------> SNIP
boot=/dev/ram0
disk=/dev/ram0
bios=0x00
sectors=36
heads=2
cylinders=80
install=/boot.b
message=/settings.s
backup=/dev/null
map=/map
read-write
vga=ask
image=/bz2bzImage
root=/dev/ram0
initrd=/initrd.bz2
append="parport=0x378,7"
--------------------------> SNIP

The image parameter must point to the symbolic name of your kernel image
(well known as filename).

3. Copy your lilo.conf into the /mnt/toms directory.

4. after that try this:
lilo -r /mnt/toms -C lilo.conf

5. umount /mnt/tomsrtb
and do a test.
