Lilo?  Ii haven't given up trying to get grub.cfg right.  here is a fragment

#
menuentry 'Void GNU/Linux 4.18.17 [sda1]' {
    insmod gzio
    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ext2
    set root='hd0,msdos1'
    echo    'Loading Linux 4.18.17_1 ...'
    linux    /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.17_1 root=/dev/sda1 ro  
    echo    'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
    initrd    /boot/initramfs-4.18.17_1.img
}

It is the "set root" line that I suspect is wrong, but if "msdos1"=1st 
partition, why do both "hd0" and "hd1" fail?  Close..
