I made several tries and always ended up in some sort of CLI shell.
If it had happened when you boot, it could be that Lilo in Debian is not configured to shows a list. It gives you 5 seconds before boots.
*QUESTION:* Before I start a futile trouble shooting procedure, is LILO known to work when installed from the Debian 6.0.5 set of DVDs?
Yes, i use it with Stable and Testing; multi-boot and single boot, desktop and servers. it can be installed on every partition's MBR.
