from a dos boot disk, run "fdisk /mbr" (minus quotes) to remove LILO from
the DOS disk. Unless you made a boot floppy, this will basically cause you
to lose your Linux install. However, if you're going to reinstall ANYWAY,
this shouldn't matter...

PS...you can always use a "rescue disk" to gain access to your Linux
partition long enough to re-run LILO and make your "/boot" partition within
the required 1024 cylinders on your hard drive...
