>From memory:
1) Try to boot with the installation cd (rescue mode). Might work if you
do not need any extraordinary modules or features to start up your
system, although you can get a _lot_ of messages concerning modules.

2) Normal cd-boot to installation screen. Go to second console. Mount
everything, chroot to your system, run lilo.
