That actually depends on the configuration of the installation kernel,
so this is not a surefire indicator that the order of the hard disks
is correct. Try making a boot disk, and see if booting from it
works. If yes, then LILO might look for the kernel or the second stage
loader on the wrong disk. In this case, adding bios= options, where
is a hexadecimal number identifying the drive might help.
The number depends on the order in which the BIOS sees your disks. The
first drive is 0x80, the second drive is 0x81, and so on. For
example, if your kernel image resides on the third drive (as per the
BIOS), then you would put bios=0x82 in the options line for your
kernel. If your kernel image resides on the first disk (as per the
BIOS), put 0x80 there.
However, to be honest, to me your symptoms don't look as if this is
your problem. IIRC, LILO should have failed earlier if this were the
cause. Do you see absolutely no kernel messages at all?
