Okay, you need to boot from a boot floppy, not an install floppy.
Then you type: linux root=/dev/hdc1 r/o
Your normal linux system will boot using the kernel on the floopy.
See below for a sample lilo.conf:
Note that /dev/hda2 must be mounted as /boot and it must be totaly within
8 gig.
Check the translation type for /dev/hda if it is LBA or ( AUTO and > 2gig)
add a line with the word linear after default in the lilo.conf.
