Chroot

Boot from an external CD or USB disk, e.g., Slackware Setup disk
# mkdir /dir
# mount /dev/sdaX /dir (substitute /dev/sdaX with your root device name)
# mount --bind /dev /dir/dev
# mount --bind /dev/pts /dir/dev/pts
# mount --bind /proc /dir/proc
# mount --bind /sys /dir/sys
# chroot /dir
Repair the boot loader, for example, for LiLO:
- # vi /etc/lilo.conf (if needed)
- # lilo -v
# exit
# umount /dir/sys
# umount /dir/proc
# umount /dir/dev/pts
# umount /dir/dev
# umount /dir
# reboot
