I was able to view the contents of lilo.conf.  Here are the contents (minus
the comments).

lba32
boot=/dev/hdb1
root=/dev/hdb1
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
vga=normal
default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
       label=Linux
       read-only
image=/vmlinuz.old
       label=LinuxOLD
       read-only
       optional

Any thoughts on how to get this to work?
