List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hello, In general, you need some defaults, and an entry for each operating system you wish to boot. Perhaps an example is best. Below, you will find my entire "/etc/lilo.conf". You'll have to customize as appropriate. What all this means can be found in the lilo man page. You have a question about a particular entry? Just ask.
