Remove the following lines from   /etc/lilo.conf

prompt
timeout=

then re-run lilo

lilo -v

The Lilo documentation explains this.

Also, for many other questions, the book  Running Linux, by Matt Welsh
and Lar Kaufman is worth the postage to bring it to you over the desert
sands and seas from O'Reilly Press in California
