I've had to re-do it 2 or more times. You can do a 'chroot lilo' or use the 'rescue.bin' disk. with the resucue, boot with: 'linux root=/dev/hda?' where ? is the partition. then run: lilo -v (the -v shows you what it did) reboot
or if you have a knoppix disk, boot with 'knoppix 2'. go to the root console. 'mount /dev/hda? /mnt' where ? is the partition. then run: chroot /mnt then run: lilo -v exit umount /mnt reboot One of these SHOULD work. HTH -kev
