What is wrong is you have not shown us /etc/lilo.conf, or
/mnt/etc/lilo.conf from install CD boot, after setup 'Target' option.

If it any consolation, I expect to not get install lilo correct
without manual check & perhaps edit prior to first reboot when I
split '/' and '/boot' Your problem may be as simple as lilo -> '/'
rather than '/boot', looking for startup image.
