You don't need to boot from floppies to install BL 2.03 if you have
any DOS/Windows 9x on HDD!

If you can reboot to DOS as you write, just create directory i.e
"baslin", unzip there all files from bl2-03.zip, and run "boot.bat"
It will run BL 2 RAMDISK version. You can later install BL 2.03 to HDD
with command "install" after logging as root.

How to boot BL later?
As I suspect your current LILO conf allows you start either Linux
or Windows. If yes, choose Windows, and press F8 (or F5).
When you get pure command line prompt, just "cd baslin",
"boot" and enjoy. :)
