So you broke lilo. Well done.
Insert your Slackware install DVD or CD1 and boot with defaults.
Once booted:
mkdir /foo
mount /dev/sda1 /foo
mount --bind /proc /foo/proc
mount --bind /sys /foo/sys
mount --bind /dev /foo/dev
chroot foo
vi /etc/lilo.conf
lilo
exit
reboot
mount /dev/sda1 /foo
mount --bind /proc /foo/proc
mount --bind /sys /foo/sys
mount --bind /dev /foo/dev
chroot foo
vi /etc/lilo.conf
lilo
exit
reboot
where /dev/sda1 is your installed / partition. Adjust as necessary.
