Hi,
Here are some links to some files I used to create a bootdisk that uses
lilo.
Load this one on a disk like dd if=rescue_lilo.img of=/dev/fd0 and it will
give a rescue disk.
http://adis.on.ca/pub/Projects/DiskImages/rescue_lilo.img
These are the kernel and filesystem I used to build the disk from.

TTYL,
Adi
