Well, since Fedora/RHEL have not used lilo in a long time, I assume
this is another distro? I would suggest using rescue media for that
distro. It would be better suited to mounting things and letting you
fix lilo.

The details for how to mounting the system depend a lot. Is it lvm?
does Fedora even see the raid?
