...and you didn't have a boot disk made? Too bad, makes the process a
bit trickier. If you've got the bash prompt from the rescue disk, though,
you should be able to run mkbootdisk <your kernel version number> to make
one. Then, when it's booted from that, run /sbin/lilo.
I'm not sure what the rescue disk does with your existing hard drives.
If you know where your original root directory was mounted (say, in /mnt),
you can run (e.g.) /mnt/sbin/lilo /mnt/etc/lilo.conf.
