Hi!

It should look like this...

/etc/lilo.conf
-------------
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=-1
default=dos
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.13
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hdb2
        read-only
other=/dev/hda1
        label=dos
        table=/dev/hda
--------------

Set the timeout value to the time you would want it to wait before it boots in
dos. Note that the value -1 is a forever wait and the time is in decisecond.

Go in /boot and look at your image name exemple:/boot/vmlinuz-*.
After, replace the image flag value by your own image name.
Note that your image will be in / directory if your distro isn't Red Hat.

Dont't forget to rerun /sbin/lilo to enable the modification.

Good luck!
