I'm not sure what "root=current" does.  Try adding:
    root=/dev/hda8  # your linux boot appears to be /dev/hda8
under the "image=/boot/vmlinuz" entry.  I have a dual-boot 
system of Mandrake 7 and Win98 (this workstation I'm typing
this on actually), and my lilo.conf has a "root" entry 
for the Linux partition.  I have never runned the QuickInst
thing, so I don't know what it does exactly.
