/usr/doc/lilo-0.20/README says you can tell lilo where
to boot from, at boot time, at the LILO: prompt.
LILO: root=/dev/sda1 (You didn't say which partition...)
If you don't get a LILO: prompt, you might need to use mkbootdisk
and then rdev to patch the boot disk:
# mkbootdisk
# rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/sda1
