  I am currently experiencing something really weird with LILO. 
  I have a 486 with a Buslogic  BT-542B ISA SCSI Host Adapter.
  I am running linux kernel 2.0.33.
  I have too scsi disks. First internal (id 0), second external (id 6). 
  Linux is on the external one. 

  Well when i have lilo set on the mbr, at boot time, instead of having
  the Lilo prompt, i get 10 10 10 10 10 10 ....

I'm fairly certain the BT-542B will only make Target ID's 0 and 1 available as
"BIOS disks".

  I have tried to change the id of the second disk from 6 to 1 to see if 
  something changes. It changes, but as a result the computer hangs !!
  (same for id 2 and 3, but 10 10 10 with 4 5 6)

  Of course the computer boots perfectly with lilo on a boot floppy :-(
  ( and in all configs too)

  I am really stuck. Any idea ?

I'm afraid I'm not that experienced with LILO.  I've certainly booted Linux
using LILO successfully from a Target 0 disk using a BT-542B.
