>From the rescue disk menu mount the partitions and then you will find your real lilo at /mnt/etc/lilo.conf (or something like that) I think in rescue mode you only get 'vim' not the full 'vi' When you have edited the lilo.conf file write it to the boot sector with the recue menu entry to rewrite lilo.
