I've seen that error before.  I seem to recall it had
something to do with booting from booting from DOS?  
Have you tried booting that machine from the floppy 
version of BL3 (which uses lilo).

Why?  It is better to do this via xinit and ~/.xinitrc

I don't know about svgalib, but in X you need to 
press SHIFT to make a cut in links.

On my laptop it's in the BIOS setup.  But it probably
depends on the brand of laptop.
