You can boot from the cd-rom or by making another floppy using the dos
rawrite util and boot.img from the images directory in the distribution.
Once you've managed to fight your way through this rather awkward method
use "mkbootdisk" to correct the error you made in not creating a boot disk
while installing :) and run /sbin/lilo to get lilo installed in your MBR or
boot sector again.
There used to be a special "rescue" disk for these situations (you can
still get & use the one from RH 5.2 if you want I suspect) but it vanished
in version 6.0 or 6.1 as I recall. I think it was replaced with something
on the cd-rom, but I've never had to use it.
