If it's acceptable to you, you should be able to tell LILO to install
onto a floppy, so that the kernel and boot partition you specify are
used.  This should only take a few seconds, then the boot process
is transferred completely to your selected kernel/partition.  At least
it would let you work in the mean time.

You didn't change any hardware configuration, cmos parameters, etc.
did you?
