you should just be able to boot using a rescue CD-Rom or floppy, mount the root partition of the hard drive and then do a 'chroot' on it and rerun '/sbin/lilo'

Whenever I get LI, I go into my BIOS and set toggle my IDE hard drive
between AUTO, LARGE, LBA, NORMAL, etc until one works.
Linux ignores the bios settings except for the initial booting sectors.
