see "man lilo.conf" and when you mess with lilo.conf, be sure to
run "lilo" itself so your new settings will be written to the
boot sector for your next restart.

Ever think you're reading OUTDATED DOCUMENTATION? Check the
last-revised-date: if it's more than a few years ago, then
there's probably something more recent out there. It may
be under a whole different name, so it'll take perseverance
and determination on your part. Be alert -- you'll find it!
