To run LILO, you'll need to open a shell as the root user;  for this,
you might first need to boot from a "rescue" diskette or CDROM.  From
there, you'll want to mount the root partition (and maybe also the boot
partition, depending on your setup), chroot to the root directory, and
run lilo. The series of commands you would execute might look something
like the following.

# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
# chroot /mnt
# lilo
# reboot

or, alternately:

# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
# lilo -r /mnt
# reboot
