It sounds new new enough. The Disk Error message usually
means a bad CD. Try cleaning it. If you can read the cd on a
windows computer, find the boodisk.img file in the /images
directory and use rawrite from the /dosutils directory to make
a boot floppy and try to boot from that and then install from
the CD.
This comes from the LILO readme section on disk error codes:
0x01 "Illegal command". This shouldn't happen, but if it does, it
may
indicate an attempt to access a disk which is not supported by the
BIOS. See also "Warning: BIOS drive 0x<number> may not be
accessible"
in section "Warnings".
