I have not used lilo in while, but you should be able to boot the rescue
CD and have it mount your partitions in /mnt/sysimage.
After you verify that the /boot and / are mounted there, you should be
able to do:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
and then just do this from inside the chroot:
lilo
then exit the chroot and reboot
