*** Not really a LILO expert but you might try to use

         lilo -C /path/to/lilo.conf

which will use "/path/to/lilo.conf" as your config file.

If this works and you recover your partition, promisse me you'll never ever 
run lilo without lilo -t!? That's "t" as in "test"...

On the other hand, why don't you boot with your floppy?
