Use a boot floppy to boot the system. (I think that there is a good
emergency root disk on Slackware 4.0 and probably most of the distros).
After booting, and switching to the emergency floppy, mount the root,
move the kernels. Then reboot again. This time, mount your / partition
from the boot: parameter. Then you may be able to run lilo again.
