I had this in extreme degree until I discovered the test mode in lilo

from the man page:

    -t     Test  only.  Do  not really write a new boot sector or map
        file.  Use together with -v to find out what lilo is about
              to do.

I have found this to be very useful and /extremely/ reassuring
  especially the comforting message that lilo spits out at you
saying nothing has been actually changed.
