If you ran lilo with your old partition table, there might be a way.
*WARNING*: the following might break your setup:
If Lilo is installed in the MBR, it should have made a backup copy of
the original MBR in /boot/boot.<major/minor>. Restoring this will
restore the old partition setup.
To restore it do:
dd if=/boot/boot.<right-number> of=/dev/hd[abcd] bs=512 count=1
Note that lilo -u won't restore the partition table.
It won't work if:
o Lilo isn't installed in the MBR, or
o You hadn't run lilo.
