Hello; I'm no expert with lilo, but from experience, it is sketchy to
use. looking at you config's it seems like lilo is having a hard time
going from sda2 to sda3 or somewhere in there. Have you tried also to
upgrade the firmware for osx, I think the latest is 1.4,
but have a look at that also.
regards;
