Here is my problem.....

I fully installed RedHat 4.1 to a second hd but the lilo installation
failed forcing me to use a dos boot disk and replace the mbr. Hence I
have no way of booting into linux.

I have tried using the RedHat supplied bootdisk and going into the
"rescue" section but there is no lilo on this rescue set for me to
install lilo :-/

How does one now boot into the copy of linux on my hd to install lilo or 
install lilo by some other method when you only have the redhat package
(cd and 2 boot disks) available ??

Out the 10Base-T, through the router,
down the T1, over the leased line, off the bridge,
past the firewall... nothing but Net.
