Nope. Now, correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe that  sda is the raw
device and refers to no partitions. if you only
have one partition, it is still partion 1. Jeong,  How big is the disk?
have you tried adding "linear" to lilo.conf for something like this:

boot=/dev/sda2
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
vga=1
linear
timeout=50

image=/boot/vmlinuz
	label=linux
	append="mem=126M"
	root=/dev/sda2
	read-only
