This is one i've had todo before it's not a pretty picture when it goes
wrong, but here are the basics.
mount the bootnet.img on /mnt/floopy with -o loop
copy /mnt/floppy/vmlinuz and initrd to say /boot/blah.install
add them to lilo
image=/boot/vmlinuz.install
label=installer
initrd=/boot/initrd.install
(check the syslinux.cfg i maybe forgetting something, if this isn't
enough)
Rerun lilo, reboot and give it a test..
