The rescue disc creates a / directory on the disc itself. This means that commands that are on your hard drive but not on the disc will not work. Try this: 1. Boot with the rescue disc. 2. Run 'mount -t ext2 /dev/hdxy /mnt/disk'. If you use ReiserFS, replace 'ext2' with 'reiserfs'. '/dev/hdxy' should be the device locaion of your / directory (e.g. '/dev/hda1'). 3. Run 'chroot /mnt/disk'. 4. Run 'cd /'. You will now be running GNU/Linux off your hard drive. You can now run any command you want. You can either remove LILO, or you can edit /etc/lilo.conf to make it work for your system, and then run 'lilo' to write it to your boot sector.
