Your root partition SHOULD be mounted read-only in lilo.conf.  Initially
it is mounted read-only during kernel boot so it can do an fsck.
Then later on it the scripts it is remounted read-write.  So if you can't
use your hard drive after boot, it isn't the lilo.conf that is doing
it to you.  Look elsewhere.
