I'ld suggest doing this with a configuration tool, such as linuxconf. I
tried making this change to lilo.conf using an editor (vim), and then
running lilo, but the change didn't take effect. Making the change using
linuxconf always worked.
There are other tools, like a drak tool, for changing the lilo
configuration, I believe, but the only one I'm familiar with is linuxconf.

Of course also increase the size number.
