That would be your lilo, grab the kernel from the partition, put it 
somewhere, load that kernel image with qemu (with the appropriate 
parameters, you can get them from lilo conf, it's the append line) and 
fire away.

once you get it to boot, reinstall lilo.

i can't really tell you the commands how to do this, as i'm not at home 
to check them.
