Check on your HD in /etc and see if there is a file named lilo.conf.  If so,
type less lilo.conf at the prompt.  If you see something like this:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
other=/dev/hda1
            label=Winblows98
            table=/dev/hda
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
            label=linux
            root=/dev/hdc1
            read-only

Then you should be able to simply type lilo -v at the prompt and be ready to
go.  If not, I'll need more info to be of any help.  Luck to you.
