Boot from the RHL7 installation disk by typing "linux rescue" at the
boot prompt. After a while it will ask you whether to search for any
Linux partitions on the hard disk. Say yes to this dialog box. This
will mount your root partition on /mnt/sysimage and will drop you to a
shell. Then do 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' at the shell. This will make
/mnt/sysimage as new /. Now just typing 'lilo' will write lilo to
MBR.
