Matter of opinion.  Your lilo.conf only builds partition boot records, not a 
master boot record.  Here's mine:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/vmlinuz
	label=linux
	root=/dev/hda1
	read-only

Compare and contrast the setting of boot= in yours vs. mine.  And of course 
the example found in man lilo.conf shows this.
