Help installing LINUX 7.0

Hello everybody,

I just tried to install a copy of RedHat Linux 7.0 and have so far been unable to run it.  I'm running a laptop with an interchangeable CD ROM / floppy drive (i.e. I can only use one at a time).

Here's what I did...

I first ran a copy of PartitionMagic and created a partition for Linux and then set up Bootmagic to run when I start my PC.

I installed Linux, being careful to install LILO to the bootsector and not to the MBR. 

However when I try to boot into Linux from BootMagic, I just get a black screen.  I realize that I might need to make a boot disk since LILO isn't on the MBR.  But, I wasn't able to create the boot disk during installation since I had the CDROM plugged in.  How can I make a bootdisk if I don't have access to the mkbootdsk command?  Is there a boot disk image that I can download from somewhere?

Also, I do have a 19GB HD and the Linux partition is after the Windows 2000 partition.  Could this be a problem?

I would really be greatful for any help,
Thanks,
S
