Not having any idea what you're booting off of, does something like
this work:

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/lib:/mnt/usr/lib /mnt/lib/ld-linux.so.2 \
    /mnt/sbin/lilo -r /mnt

(In other words, explicitly specify the dynamic loader to use, in case
the one on your boot floppy doesn't do the right thing.)
