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,

Not sure, but maybe you need to mount the partition your OS is on in rescue mode.
Then run vi to edit.
To do that, not done this for a while,
mkdir /mnt/tmp /dev/hd(x) /mnt/tmp <enter>
where x is your drive letter.
then type vi
