After remarking out delay=50 and compact and adding nomce, I put this 
lilo.conf into /etc and typed lilo -v with the first floppy disk 
(disk1f.gz) in the drive (not write-protected).

I tried two different 100% good disks.  I tried with and without
the floppy disk mounted and even cd'd to /fd

But I get the error message:

"Reading boot sector from current root.
Can't put the boot sector on logical partition 0x309."

The logical partition is ext2 BL2 that I am booted to right now and is 
probably current root.

With /dev/fd0 mounted on /fd, I see
/fd/boot.b
/fd/disk1/gs
/fd/map
/fd/zimage

What did I do wrong?
