Try this.
1. boot into rescue mode using Installation CDs.
2. mount the root and boot partition of your linux installation on
/mnt/sysconfig or something else
3. chroot to that partition and configure lilo, exit from the shell and
reboot ..

$ Hi all,
$         please anyone advise me what to do about a specific 
$ problem. I had linux 7.1 installed in a 20 GB HDD with win98 
$ and win2000 prof as the other two OS installed. Somehow the 
$ lilo got overwritten and the boot floppy didnt work. I tried 
$ booting in rescue mood but couldnot run the lilo to overwrite 
$ the MBR. Can anyone provide me a detaied way to run lilo again?
$                    Thanks, 
$                    Sohel
