    Presumably /etc/grub.conf is a broken link, then.

    Perhaps you installed the system using a separate /boot partition, and
    that partition is not currently mounted. You can look at the output
    from "fdisk -l /dev/hda" (adjust "hda" as needed) for likely candidates.
    Or, you can reboot, enter the Grub menu (press [ESC] if necessary), use
    the "c" command to get to the Grub command prompt, and then use the
    command "find /boot/grub/grub.conf" or "find grub/grub.conf" to see what
    partition(s) contain that file. Do note that Grub partition numbers
    start with 0, so "(hd0,0)" corresponds to hda1 (or sda1 on a SCSI
    system).

    Ummm..., you _are_ using Grub, not LILO, to boot, right?
