You shouldn't use lilo for several reasons. Once, if you forget to run 'lilo' after an update, your system will be unbootable. Second, grub works better. You can have grub on a cd or a floppy and load the kernel from there (that always seemed to work for me). If a CD is an option, you can even include a menu.lst file so your kernel will be shown in the menu when you boot from CD. You can even reinstall grub into the MBR from the grub menu. See the grub manual (grub-legacy, NOT grub2) on gnu.org for information on how to create a grub CD or floppy. BTW, in the 0.8 alpha/beta CD images (until beta1), we had grub as a bootloader, so you could always boot your kernel in such cases, but trouble with several BIOSes forced us to go back to isolinux.
