image = is for a kernel image. I don't think it will find one at
/dev/hda1. Put it back the way you had it. Then cut the three lines
starting "other=" and paste them before the "image=.." line. Without
other instructions lilo defaults to the first os in lilo.conf.
Or read man lilo.conf for other ways to do it.

read-only tells how to mount the root filesystem. You want it
read-only so init can run fsck on it without making a mess. Then it
remounts it read-write.
