  Here is my lilo.conf. which is somewhat different then yours. ( it
works too).
    #LILO configuration file
    # generated by 'liloconfig'
    #
    # Start LILO global section
 boot = /dev/hda
    #read-only
    #compact        # faster, but won't work on all systems.
 prompt
 vga = normal    # force sane state
    # ramdisk = 0     # paranoia setting
    # End LILO global section
    # Linux bootable partition config begins
 image = /vmlinuz
 root = /dev/hda1
 label = slack33
    # read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for
    # checking
    # Linux bootable partition config ends
    # Linux bootable partition config begins
 image = /vmlinuz
 root = /dev/hda2
 label = debian13
    #

The problem with program verifiers is that they tend to cheat at toy
problems in order to get results.
