The default debian lilo configuration does not prompt.  Add "prompt"
and possbily timeout to your /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo.  See the
lilo.conf man page for details. 

Acording to the lilo man page, it should be posibly to get a prompt by
hitting shift at the proper moment.  I've never done this.
