Copy lilo from the 2-floppy BL3 somehow (on a computer with floppy drive).

Make your own lilo.conf and put files in /boot.  See the archives (I 
summarized how I did it).

You can upload lilo to your webspace and download it again if you have no 
other way to transfer files (such as USB drive or zip drive or transfer 
cable, or network cable or wireless networking or CD-R....).  Or get it 
from Slackware 4.0 lilo package over the net or from CD.
