Ah - it's clear now that you're running the installer from CD - your
machine is not booting on its own off the hard disc, right now, is that
right?

I know that you've tried something like this, but I would have expected
it to run if you booted off the Woody installer disc with:
  rescbf24 root=/dev/hda2

If that fails, which error does it give?

If that works, then this may finish your upgrade:

We want the part of lilo.conf that says this;
image=/vmlinuz
        label=Linux
        read-only

...or possibly this:
image=/vmlinuz
	initrd=/initrd.img
        label=Linux
        read-only

When that part is right, one of these should work:
  lilo -v -r /target
  chroot /target lilo -v
