Boot your machine with bootable [RedHat] cdrom (one you used
for installation).  At the LILO prompt, type following:

	linux root=/dev/hda1 initrd=

Adjust X in /dev/hdaX so it would point to right root partition
on your disk.  If don't remember your partition layout, try
different number.  It won't hurt, just takes time.

# I'm assuming that your root parition is on your first
# disk (/dev/hda).  If not, try /dev/hdb and so forth.

After successfully booting & login, run lilo.  Just plain
'lilo' will do.  Reboot to see if all was sucessful or not.
