Another way to do this is to make a boot floppy and keep it around. Use
mkbootdisk to create it. It does not have to be the latest, but the
kernel has to support the root disk device and file system. e.g. ide and
ext2.
You then boot the floopy and at the lilo prompt type:
linux root=/dev/hda1 r/o
^^^^
Replace hda1 with the appropriate partition.
When the system boots, log in as root and run lilo.
