Want the cheap and easy way?
Boot off Debian CD1. At the prompt try:
rescbf24 root=/dev/hda
(whatever your root is)
If it boots execute lilo.
If it doesn't like your filesystem boot off the CD and start a
re-install. When it gets to the point of formatting your hard drive hit
alt-F2 and follow the directions to get a prompt.
mkdir /tmp/mnt
mount /dev/hda1 /tmp/mnt
chroot /tmp/mnt
lilo
exit
umount /tmp/mnt
init 6
