A possible solution based on tomsrtbt floppy disk is presented in the
"LILO-crash-rescue-HOWTO". You can get it from
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/LILO-crash-rescue-HOWTO.html or
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/LILO-crash-rescue-HOWTO

When you turn on your computer and the word "lilo" appears on the screen,
you could press one of the following keys to activate the prompt: shift,
tab, alt or ctrl.
Hope that helps,
