LivinFree is right.
The lilo would have been installed when you first installed RH. What you need to do now though is to edit the /etc/lilo.conf file. When you have corrected and added the right lines then run /sbin/lilo (or just 'lilo' from the current directory can work sometimes).
You should run the lilo command to make sure that lilo is working fine and the updates have been made correctly.
If you need to find out how to edit the lilo do a search here I know the question has been answered before for a fact as I asked it ages ago.
