You could try downloading a 98 boot disk from www.bootdisk.com if you don't have dos/windows installed, I think you would need WINE to extract it though.

Just my 2¢

Boot the machine in DOS and enter
fdisk mbr from the command prompt. This will remove LILO from your MBR assuming you used to boot your box from a local harddrive.
Otherwise format your partition.
I know when I did it I had to run fdisk /mbr a few times to get rid of Lilo.
