Hi,
make a copy of /etc/lilo.conf
edit /etc/lilo.conf and change the partition where vmlinuz uses
to get bootet ( expl. /dev/hda1) to /dev/fd0.
Leave the rest untouched.
But the floppy you want to use in the drive and type lilo on the
prompt. PC should access the /dev/fd0 and write like you want.
Greets, Mike.
