That's definitely the right way to go, get rescue.bin and write it to a
floppy using rawrite or dd.
When the system boots, check if really all the packages have gone. From
the problem description (the computer displaying LI and nothing more), one
could also conclude that it is a problem with the new LILO version, which
got automatically installed, that could be solved by just running
/sbin/lilo.
