The LILO mini-HOWTO has directions for making a floppy with LILO on it.
See the entire HOWTO at
  http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/LILO.html
and the specific section about floppies at
  http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/LILO-7.html 

You would of course substitute the lilo configuration of your choice
for the HOWTO's lilo.flop.  And if I was doing this I'd keep the old
boot floppy around, since I'm sure I'd mess up the first time :)
