Not it isn't. *Character* device 09:00 is /dev/st0 (SCSI tape). Block
device 09:00 is /dev/md0 (software RAID device).

Block device 08:00 is /dev/sda (the whole of the first SCSI disk). 
More likely, it's using one of the partitions (e.g. 08:01, /dev/sda1).

Because you're trying to boot from a RAID device.

Change the "root=..." setting in lilo.conf.

Essentially, your problem is that you're trying to boot directly from
a software RAID device, but the device doesn't exist at boot time.

You have to pass additional options to the kernel in order to tell it
which devices (partitions) make up the RAID array. See
Documentation/md.txt for details.
