You say "even with a boot disk", just how do you try with a boot disk, and
what sort of bootdisk,?.
The bootdisk you made to install linux with in the first place should help
you in this situation.
Insert the bootdisk and when the LILO prompt appiers type;
'mount root=/dev/hda1 '
Where /dev/hda1 will be where your "root filesystem" is located.
Is your system a dual boot system, if so, can you boot dos or windows or
whatever.?
There must be a reason why your system wont boot, if you have "not changed"
anything or "deleted" anything and did not just turn off the system without
shuting down properly, (not that a sudden shutdown will distroy the whole
system), then there should be no problem.
