First try using the patched LILO (and boot.b file) provided either in
the MTD releases, or you might find it floating around somwhere in
this mailing list archive.  That should solve your problem.

There were a lot of discussions in this mailing list regarding this
problem.  Basically, there are two problems in the plilo binary
that M-Systems provide:  it's compiled against libc5 (unless they
changed that in the newer release) and it is patched against LILO
version 20, not 21.
