hi

u should be changing the _boot_ to /devices/discs/disc0/disc not the _root_. 
the root should stay just like it is (mine is /devices/discs/disc0/part5). 
also if you make a typo in the lilo.conf file when editing it lilo may fail, 
that's happened to me a few times.

to fix the problem boot from the install cd and at the 1st menu choose 
'choose 
boot device' (or whatever the exact wording is) and give it the partition 
your sourcemage install is on (eg. /devices/discs/disc0/part5). you should 
boot into sourcemage and you can edit /etc/lilo.conf to change the lilo 
configuration and then 'lilo' to apply the changes. reboot and you should be 
fine.

hope this helps
