I used the Mandrake 2.2.16 upgrade for my system. There was a hicup with

Well, I thought I was running 2.2.14secure in the past and 2.2.16secure
now. Wrong! My system is not setup for the secure kernel (??) and when I
added both 2.2.14secure and 2.2.16secure in lilo, I got a kernel panic
during reboot, saying there was a system/kernel mismatch. So, now I can not
start Linux at all.
I have been able to boot using an old Caldera install/boot disk (dummy me
didnot make a proper boot disk). I can access and mount my HDD, however I
can not edit lilo and solve this problem since I can not access any
editors; ed or vi.
Any idead?
[root@i686-it-2 gullevek]# whereis vi
vi: /bin/vi /usr/bin/vi /usr/man/man1/vi.1.bz2
if you can access your HD you can use vi ... that's a fact. or do you
mean, you can
only access one part of the HD ? mount in the others ... that should be
no
problem.
or perhaps you don't have the paths set correct, then just type in
/bin/vi /etc/lilo.conf
and now you should be able to edit the lilo.conf
