SATA can give you serious heartburn.... The problem is that the drives
are identified as IDE (/dev/hd*) during the install, but the kernel then
wants to treat them as SCSI (/dev/sd*), so it can't find them.
Try using root=/dev/sda1 in the command line. Sorry, it's been a while
since I used LILO; I can't give you the particulars.
