Well, now my kernel is 436367 bytes, and the problem is still there. But I get a different LILO prompt:

LILO
)boot:
Try an even smaller kernel. Also check that LILO reads from the correct places. That is, make sure your /etc/lilo.conf tells it to look for the kernel/boot loader/map in the flash, and not on a hard disk that you might remove.
Also, you might want to use the same LILO and boot.b on a hard disk, and see if it works there. Other than that, I can't much help you out.
Oh - one more thing you might want to check is to run the same LILO, without the firmware (either install the .fff file, or press ctl+alt+b at boot when you see the M-Systems' messages to disable the firmware loading).

Any time I run lilo, I then boot from DOS to put the firmware (with dupdate). Is that the correct way? Or it is needed only once?
You only need it once. Note, though, that there are _two_ firmwares - one that is just 0's (the .fff file) and one which actually has the firmware. If you install the .fff file, you erase the firmware, so you'll need to install it again, of course. However, after you installed the firmware, you don't need to re-install it every time.

Why doesn't someone just finish teaching Grub to read NFTL? I've done enough of it that it should be immediately obvious how to finish it off, but I just haven't had the time.
