No, don't run Lilo. The RedHat bootdisk is SysLinux, not Lilo. The file
system is MSDOS FAT, so you can just mount the floppy under /mnt and copy
your kernel to /mnt/vmlinuz. Make sure that your kernel supports initrd
(initial ramdisk) and mounts root from the ramdisk. Or at the boot prompt,
type "linux root=/dev/ram0" if you forgot to rdev the kernel.
