Thank you to everyone who responded to my problem above. After reading them all I booted with the rescue disk. This loaded Debian. I then went to the command prompt with Ctrl/Alt/F3 and logged in as root. Then I entered: "#lilo" which then loaded the Windows 98 partition and the job was done, my login screen was back intact.
