Use loadlin for this. Or boot into linux, create lilo.conf and install and
run lilo

Boot into linux, login as root, mount your CD and just rpm -i lilo-[tab]
That'll install lilo. Set up lilo.conf to boot into doze and linux (search
google for "Litt's LILO Lessons" or man lilo first.
Then run lilo
# /sbin/lilo -t -v
[tests it]
# /sbin/lilo -v
[runs it]
-v = verbose
-srs
btw: I see you are my sister's batchmate @ BITS ...

LOST #119 -**< Sub : How to make a Loadlin bootdisk >**-
This is the simplest way making your own boot disk. Totally a
DOS prompt job. In DOS [1] "format a: /s/v" [2] Copy two files
your kernel (usually vmlinuz) and "loadlin.exe" to it, [3] and
make a one-line config.sys to point to your / device and boot:
e.g. "shell=a:\loadlin.exe a:\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro"
