The basic procedure to fix most boot problems is easy to
describe. The devil is in the details ;)
1) Boot the system by manually specifying the root fs.
2) Reconfigure your boot method with correct the root fs.
3) Reboot to be certain that you have fixed the problem.
Based on what you wrote about using the rescue disk, I believe
you are able to boot this system manually. Step 2 is should be
editing /etc/lilo.conf and running "/sbin/lilo" - you should
ensure the "boot=" and "root=" lines are correct.
Yours sincerely,
