boot again through the cd in rescue mode. by typing in "linux rescue" and it shall drop you to a single user shell. at the prompt type in "chroot /dev/hdax" where x is the parttion on which linux resides.
once you change root to linux partiton, just run the lilo command again by typing "lilo" at the bash prompt.
and you shall have the prompt from next reboot.
