Personally I use XF86Setup, run it as root. another option is xf86config.
All these config things have to be done as root.

To the best of my knowledge LILO does not do menus, if you put an
entry like
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
table=/dev/hda
in /etc/lilo.conf then run lilo at the prompt it will allow you to
boot dos from the LILO: prompt by typing dos (to get a list of options
press the tab key).
