Did you execute mke2fs before running install-to-hd ?

Where exactly were you when you executed lilo ?
Were you running from the HD partition?  Or 
were you still running from the floppy version?

I think that error means you are still running from
the ramdisk (i.e. floppy version).  I suggest you
read the instructions more carefully.  You need to
boot /dev/hda1 before running lilo.
