OK, I installed the Redhat 9 lilo RPM and copied it's boot.b.
(because I couldn't find it in the tmp/lilo* directory)

I copied mbr.b from the tmp/lilo* directory.
(because it doesn't exist in Redhat 9)

I ran the lilo command from the tmp/lilo* directory because 
the Redhat lilo binary doesn't support the "-M" option.

(sounding pretty cobbled up by now :)

And ....  it booted!!!   :-)

I got a few misc. errors, but nothing that sounded too serious.
It came up, I logged in, ran setup, ... everything seemed to work.
(except my NIC module (3c2000) doesn't exist in DL - not surprised)

Anything specific you want me to try?
