stuck in starting phase 2 of installing Vicidial

I have done everything in phase 1 of scratch installation but cant do phase 2. When I am rebooting its askes to insert boot media. When I put salckware disk 1 it actually does installation again. What to do??

cheers

Did you install the same kernel you used to boot with?
Did you install lilo on the MBR?

It only takes a few minutes to do the install over so that would be my best answer at this time unless anyone else knows a surefire way to fix him up fast!

He can use a live cd like mepis and install a bootloader. They use grub but I think lilo is on it also .
