Here's another thing to try. Once you've booted from your rescue disk,
mount your root partition under /mnt. Put a blank, formatted floppy in
your floppy drive. Then do
dd if=/mnt/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=512
Then reboot from that floppy. If it gives you a lilo prompt, enter
"linux root=/dev/hdb1" (or whatever partition is root). This should
boot your system somewhat normally. Then, once it's booted, do
/sbin/lilo.
