"LI" means that the first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot loader, but has failed to execute it.
You need to rerun LILO to update the boot sector.
1.Boot from floppy.
2.Mount the root directory.
3.Re-run lilo to recreate a valid master boot record on the hard-drive using a command like "/sbin/lilo -r /mount_point_of_root".
