Use the boot disk, and when it asks formount, ramdisk, etc
enter mount root=/dev/hda1 (or whatever partition is your primary linux
partition.)  After that, you'll need to reinstall lilo (either liloconfig,
or setup (select the Configure option and go thru the steps.)  When it asks
for the lilo installation, select the option that states something like
"Start over with new LILO header."  That *should* fix the problem

	Stefan,

	 Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately it did not work out.
	 Below is a listing of what happened. Any other ideas, you or
	 anyone? If I have to reinstall, can I do it without overwriting
	 data? Thanks a lot.

LILO boot:mount root=/dev/hda1
