I'm not quite sure what your problem is, sure, there are several ways.
If the hard drive *has a linux distribution installed*, you are usually
best off using chroot, something like:
chroot /mnt/point/hdx9 /sbin/lilo
And actually running the lilo from the installed distribution.
But nothing stops you from using the one from the ram disk, of course,
you must then *use the boot.b from tomsrtbt*! Maybe that is the error
you are getting, you cannot mix and match the tomsrtbt lilo executable
with the distributions boot.b file, so you cannot use -r without first
pointing to the correct boot.b file.
