Lilo which comes with potato does not support graphics or full screen
lilo boot, as far as I know.

Install lilo from testing, then you get full screen text selection.

But I offer you easy way.  Install lilo in one of the deveces: /dev/hda1,
/dev/hda2, /dev/hda3, /dev/hda4.  Not in /dev/hda.

Then install debian MBR by using install-mbr to /dev/hda.

To get fancier graphics, install MBR like GAG over Debian MBR.

GAG has nice graphics.

Of course, you can get latest lilo source and compile with full screen
graphics install as the last resort.
