I had to reinstall my Win98 partition and wiped out the lilo in the MBR. I can boot with installation floppies and get to the menu screen where I can choose linux, rescue etc. If I choose to boot an installed system it just goes to windows and I don't have the choice to boot linux.
From the initial CD boot screen you should select Installation. When YaST starts you'll get a new menu. From there, boot installed system should find your linux installation and boot it.
If I do the rescue system I can boot that, mount my installed system, cd to /etc and execute lilo but it doesn't recognize where it is and apparently does not find the lilo.conf.
Assuming you've mounted your system on /mount
cd /mount
chroot . (note the dot here, most people miss it. It's
chroot<space><dot>)
mount -a
/sbin/lilo
should work.
