The directory make zImage puts the file is /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot
and I copied it to /boot. I saved the original lilo.conf as lilo.old and
adjusted the lilo.conf to call the zImage instead of
vmlinuz2.0.something-something. And rebooted, even after I made these
changes in the lilo it still booted to the old kernel. As for the
/sbin/lilo, it did not play with that. I hadn't even seen it mentioned.
