You should be able to run lilo from the dinstall menus.
Running it from the rescue shell is kinda tricky because you root which is
normally / is now /target. Thus your kernel image /vmlinuz is
/target/vmlinuz, your /etc/lilo.conf is at /target/etc//lilo.conf etc. etc.
What you can do is dd your /target/vmlinuz onto a floppy, make sure your
root is set on it correctly with rdev and then boot your system on it. Then
all your directories have their real paths and running lilo will be as
usual.
