First of all, welcome to Gentoo itwt
Take a look at these instructions for installing lilo and see if they help.

Ok, i noticed that it is pointing to "htk" when you run lilo. This probably should be hda. Because based of off the "cat /proc/partitions" hda seems to be the closest to the default partitioning scheme.

For this error the only thing I can think of is that either proc or dev didn't get mounted during the install. However I have seen install instructions before where mounting dev was not required, so if someone could shed some light on the reasons for this i'd appreciate it. |
