huh? assuming that you are going to leave your linux partitions alone,
you need a debian rescue disk, you mount your previous linux
installation rooted at /mnt, then you run a chroot'd lilo, which will
use the lilo.conf and kernel of your previous installation to write to
the boot record configured in (/mnt)/etc/lilo.conf.
