I don't have a boot disk, only a RH7.1 cd. Is there a way to reinstall lilo on the mbr with only this?

yep, I'd recommend using the bootdisk if you still have it. Just pop it in and boot. once in there just hit enter on the lilo prompt and watch it go once you login run:

lilo

and you are all done.

if you cdrom is bootable pop in the cd RH cd 1 and boot up the machine, select rescue and then once it is in a terminal you just need to run the command

lilo

done.

That does not work... it says, lilo.conf not found. When i boot to rescue, i am not at my filesystem. I have no idea how to use this rescue prompt.

Read your other thread, Convery. I posted files neccesary to create a boot disk.
