Puppy doesn't have Lilo. You can chroot into another Linux distro to use it though. Mount the partition with the other one, and open a terminal. Do something like this:
chroot /mnt/<partition>
where /mnt/<partition> is the path to that distro's root directory. Then you should have access to that distro's lilo command. Note: it will use the lilo.cfg file from that distro, not Puppy (because Puppy doesn't have it).
Sorry I can't be more specific, I'm tired and need to go sleep now for school in the morning. If you need more info, I wrote a how-to on this once. It should turn up in the search.
Puppy does have Grub, by the way. With Grub, you don't have to run a command whenever you make a change.

Guys am I going mad or did I make a post here. before pizzasgood, I'm sure that i saw that it had been entered. There was nothing controversial about so I think it is fairly safe to assume it wasn't deleted, this leaves, user error by a mod or a good old fashioned bug. It doesn't matter that the post has gone, it contained no pearls of wisdom. It is just interesting to note the problem.

Did you change any of Red Hat's boot-files or it's settings in the lilo config? Did you have all of Red Hat's partitions mounted (from "within" the chroot)? I've never used Red Hat, so I can't help too much with that. 
Maybe Red Hat's lilo doesn't work right when you chroot it. I've only done it with Vector Linux. It always worked fine then though.
@HairyWill: It wasn't there when I posted, so it must have messed up over the course of about forty minutes.
