Use your redhat install disks to get into your system. hint root=/dev/???
Then copy the kernel image to your dos partition and reboot to dos.
Type: loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/??? ro
\ \ \
\ \ \_ means read-only
\ \_ your linux partition.
\_ or whatever your kernel image is called.
Alternatively, you can get a program for dos called syslinux, that you can
put on to a floppy with the kernel. The config is simple to setup.
If you have any probs with this there is a lilo mini howto that should help
more.
