That is indeed normal. Since you removed the M-Systems firmware, there's
nothing to make the DiskOnChip appear as a 'normal' hard drive via the
BIOS 'normal' INT 13h disc access routines. So LILO cannot possibly
work.

You are, as ever, very difficult to comprehend. What image to place on
the DOC2000? Format it (with the Grub firmware) with DFORMAT, or with
nftl_format if you must, make an ext2 file system on /dev/nftl, and have
Grub's boot menu boot from the ext2 file system.... what are you
missing?
