The RedHat installer will run a bash shell on another VC.
You can switch with ALT + an F-key. Notice that the shell
will not be opened at once, you have to go through the
first steps finding the CD.

If you want to load LILO from a partition it should be a
primary partition. (An extended is posible but not a
good idea, a logical partition I don't think will work.)
You must activate the partition and install the standard
mbr code. If you don't have one I have placed one here:
http://www.daimi.au.dk/~kasperd/mbr. The one I could find
is with error messages in Danish, but you should be
able to use it anyway. Just write the file to the disk
with "cat mbr >/dev/hda". AFAIK this is equivalent to the
fdisk/mbr command in some DOS versions.

Try "mknod /dev/hda b 3 0"

No, proc filesystem is not at all related to device
inodes. (Hint: /proc != /dev)
