Boot up with the Install floppy or from CD-ROM, and at the boot prompt type:
linux single root=/dev/hdb* initrd=
Where the * == the number of your root partition. This'll get you to single
user mode where you can rerun lilo. If you get kernel panic, don't panic
yourself, you just gave root=/dev/hdb* the wrong number. Try again..
