Here is my lilo.conf. which is somewhat different then yours. ( it
works too).
#LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
#read-only
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
prompt
vga = normal # force sane state
# ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda1
label = slack33
# read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for
# checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda2
label = debian13

The problem with program verifiers is that they tend to cheat at toy
problems in order to get results.
