The read-only line tells LILO to boot the Linux partition readonly-- this
is necessary or it can't fsck the filesystem. (That doesn't look good...)
Here's my /etc/lilo.conf, set up with two Linux kernels and one DOS
partition (actually, Win95):
boot=/dev/hda3
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=8
prompt
timeout=10
image=/boot/bzImage
label=linux222
root=/dev/hda3
read-only
image=/boot/bzImage-2.2.1
label=linux221
root=/dev/hda3
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
table=/dev/hda
