This is from Debian's master boot record. Press "2" to boot partition 2,
'F' to boot the floppy, etc. I suggest you re-install the LILO package and
say "no" to the first question (which asks if you want to use the existing
LILO configuration) and "yes" to all subsequent questions.
Either the partition is not bootable for some reason, or you have a shift key
down when the system boots. Otherwise you would not see this.
