Yes, you need to install lilo.  The first three image= sections are for
booting different version of the linux kernel.

And the following line boots the OS sitting on /dev/hda1



Here is my /etc/lilo.conf

boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda4
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
        label=linux
        read-only
image=/vmlinuz.old
        label=old
        read-only
image=/vmlinuz.new
        label=new
        read-only
other=/dev/hda1
        label=dos
