Can't you just type the device of the partition that DOS is on to get it
to boot? I forget exactly how it goes, something like: type /dev/hda1 at
the LILO boot prompt (provided DOS is on hda1). It's been quite some time
since I dealt with this, but I never had to do it myself so I'm prolly way
off.
