Boot up with the RedHat install disk, type "vmlinuz
root=/dev/hdbX" where X is the number of Linux's root partition (and hdb
is the second hard drive on the primary IDE - hda is first primary, hdb
second primary, hdc first secondary, hdd second secondary) when it boots
up, login as root and run lilo, and then you should be able to reboot with
lilo reinstalled.
