You could copy it over to a fat-partition, a floppy or over internet.
For floppy:
Boot the CD,
mount hdb1 and floppy, for floppy you need to write: mount /floppy
copy the file: cp /mnt/hdb1/etc/lilo.conf /floppy/
unmount the floppy with: umount /floppy
problem remember the access denied thing that i had with my hard drive? well... ... ... ... ... ... the same thing happened with the floppy drive. now what? im really sorry about all of this but i really want to get this to work
