esatto, poi devi impostare il paremetro install=menu in lilo.conf e
lanciare `lilo` da root.

io ho:
---8<----
# installs the specified file as the new boot sector
# You have the choice between: bmp, compat, menu and text
# Look in /boot/ and in lilo.conf(5) manpage for details
#
install=menu
---8<----

da 'man lilo.conf':
---8<----
install=<user-interface>
   Selects the user interface which will be seen at boot time.  One of the
   following three options may be  specified:   text, menu,  or  bmp.  The
   traditional LILO interface is `text'; but `menu' is now the default,
   unless the configurtion file contains the `bitmap=' specification.
   The text interface is strictly a command-line interface as though the
   console  were  a dumb terminal.  The menu interface is a text-based
   screen of the boot choices, with the option to enter additional command
   line parameters.  And the bmp interface is a menu presented against a
   graphic screen, specified as a 640x480 BitMaP file of 16 or 256 colors.
   (See the 'lilo -E' switch for editing options).  
   
   (Prior to LILO version 22.3, `install=' specified the user interface
   as a file in the `/boot' directory.)
