[Techtalk] lilo gone bad

[Lemanski, Lahoma J.]

If you look on the installation cd, there is a folder named DosUtils, in
there you will find a program called rawrite and several boot images. You
can copy those images and the program to your computer ( I am assuming that
you can boot into windows). Run the rawrite program, and specify the boot
image you want it to write and the target drive and viola, you have a new RH
7.1 boot floppy.
Hope this helps, 
Lahoma

I went to the Rescue Mode. After asking my language and keyboard it got 
landed in something like sh-2.04# from where I could do nothing. I tried 
uname/ mkbootdisk etc and also searched for /etc/lilo.conf but no luck. How 
can I mount my root partition from there?? I tried to use df/ du to see 
what my root partition is but failed. WHat's the command to see the 
partitions? And once I find the partition what'll I do?

Further help plz.
