Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Resurrecting LILO.
Use a RedHat CD to boot into Rescue mode. Once you're at a bash prompt, you need to figure out where your old root is and mount it somewhere. Create a directory for it, BTW. You might need to find and mount /boot, too, but do it under your newly mounted root.

Once you've mounted it and confirmed that /etc and /boot are where they should be (relative to their proper root), you can do a lilo -r /wherever/you/mounted/root and it will fix it all up.

New Couldn't he just...
...boot from the floppy to the hard drive...(or even the cd in rescue) and then get root...and then type "lilo -P fix"....?

I just did that last night as a matter of fact.
Um...er...well...

I have no choice!
