One of my machines has a problem in this area; it too _cannot_ boot
an unmodified tomsrtbt from a CD.

The problem appears to be that the machine can only boot a MSDOS format
floppy; not the tomsrtbt minix filesystem. If I put tomsrtbt onto a
dos format 2.88 disk image (and replace lilo) it seems to work fine.
(I think it's very unlikely to be a lilo problem.)
