hit the tab key after you see 'LILO Boot:'
you'll see the choices, just pick one
or type the name of your linux boot ('linux' ?) right after prompt (you have 5 seconds or so (set and lilo.conf)
or better:
edit /etc/lilo.conf and set the linux boot info first, before win95... linux will be booted by default.
