OK, sounds like you've got a few problems. First, from a command prompt,
run the command neat, then adjust your network settings accordingly.
Your 127.0.0.1 address should not be hosting to adelphia so remove the
adelphia stuff and put in localhost.localdomain .
You need to see how your harddrive is being recognized, run the command
dmesg and see what your hard drive is, it is probably something like
/dev/hde since it's on a seperate controller. There are a bunch of
options that can be put in the lilo.conf file, most importantly the
map-drive= line, to give you an idea of the seperate commands on a dual
boot/multi hard drive system, I will include a copy of my /etc/lilo.conf
file, if you change that, run the lilo command again and you can
probably do away with the floppy, One other VERY important note, some
systems cant handle the linear geometry, change that to lba32 if so,

prompt
timeout=50
default=RedHat
boot=/dev/sda
disk=/dev/sda bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hdb bios=0x82
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b

        label=Windows
        table=/dev/hdb
        map-drive=0x80
        to=0x82
        map-drive=0x82
        to=0x80
