    I haven't actually seen the answer to your question and am not real sure
    what it is. I looked at the lilo manual and L 01 means that the first stage
    boot loader is loaded and there is a Disk error - the drive is not
    accessible. I think that may have to do with a module that is needed to run
    the SCSI drive and that module doesn't get loaded in time for LILO. I don't
    know what module that would be, but perhaps you can find out what is needed.
    I glanced at the SCSI-2.4 HowTo and Section 4 covers what is needed in the
    kernel for SCSI. I think your answer will be there. If you don't have this
    on your machine, you can get it in the HowTo section at www.tldp.org.
    Basically, I think you just need to recompile your kernel to include
    something scsi which is currently compiled as a module.

    I think you can also do this with an initrd image, but I know even less
    about that.
