lilo mbr problem

I installed ez-bios on my maxtor hd and it overwrote the mbr. how do i put lilo back into the mbr. I booted from a boot floppy and everything is still there in lilo.conf. It just won;t boot without the floppy.

How do i reinstall the mbr?

# lilo -q

run this. if it doesn't work, do

# /sbin/lilo
# /sbin/lilo -q
