This may not be of much value to you Jack, but if nothing else works you can always
boot off a floppy. I have a mobile rack mounted in /dev/hdd position and by necessity
have a boot floppy for each of the several drives that I might plug in there. Booting
that way doesn't take much longer than from the hard drive and your lilo will still
be available if you don't insert said floppy.
