LILO bane error when writing MBR

I'm a grub user ... this is my first experience with lilo. I'm trying to properly hide DOS and win2k from each other. DOS can't read ntfs and the win2k parbreastion is too far from the front of the disk to be dos-addressable in any case, but I would like to learn why the bane error occurs.

Thanks!

lilo -v for the lilo.conf listed below says this:
