[newbie] rescue disk probs

[Scott]

Hello I'm trying to use my 10.0 rescue disk to re-write lilo in hda.  The problem is I have an improperly named kernel image in /etc/lilo.conf, so the rewrite fails when it runs "lilo".  I don't seem to be able to open lilo.conf with vi to change it from the rescue console though.  I just get an empty new /etc/lilo.conf file, and ls /etc doesn't show a lilo.conf file (or a bunch of others either).  How can I fix the file?   Cheers, SW
