Not sure, but you shouldn't need a boot disk.
When you get the lilo prompt, push right-shift, then
tab, and boot the kernel listed with the option init=/bin/sh
example
LILO:<tab>
Linux
LILO: Linux init=/bin/sh
Booting linux...........
some boot stuff
#fsck /path/to/boot/device (/dev/hda1 /dev/hda2 whatever)
it may warn you about fsck'ing a mounted filesystem, but it will be
mounted read-only, so you'll be fine.
have fun
