Sure. The parameter you are looking for is called "delay", and it
indicates the time LILO willl wait for you to chose which kernel to
load in deciceconds. So delay 200 will cause it to wait for 20
seconds. When it waits, just hit TAB key to see a list of available
kernels or press SHIFT to enter the name of the kernel w/o looking at
the list. Below is the copy of my /etc/lilo.conf
As a return favor, could you please send me contents of your
/etc/init.d/wdm file, if you have it? I don't know why my request,
sent to the list yesterday is being ignored by fellow Debian users. :(
=============
boot=/dev/hda4
root=/dev/hda4
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=200
image = /zImage
