Switch the two sections in /etc/lilo.conf.  Here's my normal setup:

        image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-22
                label=linux
                root=/dev/hda3
                read-only
        other=/dev/hda1
                label=win98
                table=/dev/hda

whichever one is listed first will be your default.  So, to make Windows
the default switch them to this:

        other=/dev/hda1
                label=win98
                table=/dev/hda
        image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-22
                label=linux
                root=/dev/hda3
                read-only

After making that change, run this:

        /sbin/lilo

that will write the changes back out to the drive so they'll take effect
on the next boot.
