What the lilo diagnostic was?

What's wrong with the following?
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
delay = 50
vga = normal
ramdisk = 4096
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition
image = /zImage
root = /dev/sda1
label = Linux
read-only
# Win95/NT
other = /dev/hda1
label = MS
table = /dev/hda
This assumes, of course, that there is a BIOS support for SCSI controller.
