There is definitely a file named rescue.img somewhere on the CD. Run a
find on the CD through Win98. If you cannot find it there, use the PCQ
CD. Both CDs will be identical.
Transfer this file to a diskette using rawrite and boot from this
diskette. Then mount your harddisk (if it isn't already mounted) and run
lilo from the shell prompt.
Your other option is to get loadlin and use it according to instructions
that come with it.

Ohhhhh.... bad idea. Do Not ever go in for a SiS card. It *only* works
in Win 95/98. Even NT has a hard time with it. Cirrus is an excellent
card, and I do not know why you had a problem with it.
I have a Cirrus. Windows would not go above 800x600x64K colours. Linux
went to 1024x768x256 colours. That was until I lost my RAM (after almost
three years) and it now runs at 800x600x256 colours.
