Hi Len,
I'm going to point you to a posting to this list six years ago which might 
help you.

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/1998/10/msg01506.html

This i found with a fast google on the terms lilo only li. Google will 
normally provide an answer within a couple of minutes, while mailing lists 
take a lot longer. 

For getting your system booting so you can fix it, I would recommend 
knoppix.

Have a merry christmas

Pete
