I have the same problem. Solution: add a line in the linux section of your lilo.conf file such as 'append = "hdb=none"'. For example:
#linux image = /vmlinuz root = /dev/hda1 label = Linux read-only vga = normal append = "hdb=none" #end linux section
That line will fix it up nicely. If you already have an append statement in your lilo.conf, just add hdb=none to the list of arguments already there.
