Re: sometimes the lilo boot menu does not show up unless one hits shift or something
In lilo.conf, use the `prompt' option to force a boot prompt (without
you having to press tab or shift or whatever first). If you want to,
specify a message file with the `message' option. This file can
contain a "menu" detailing which choices are available. It will have
to reside on the low-cylinder boot partition if you have one.
1) add a line that just says "prompt" to /etc/lilo.conf
2) type lilo
If you want, you can also specify a message file with the `message' option.

For more info, man lilo.conf
