The Right Thing(tm) to do is to append the following 2 lines:
parrword=whatever
restricted
at the end of the linux section of /etc/lilo.conf
Mine, for example looks like this:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=30
vga=7
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
password=foo #<---
restricted #<---
other=/dev/hdc1
label=msdos
table=/dev/hdc
loader=/boot/any_d.b
password=foo
The `restricted' option causes LILO to boot Linux without a password,
but if someone tries to pass any options to the kernel (including
single), they'll be asked for one.
Hope this solves your problem.
sb.
