Try changing it to:
boot = /dev/sda
map = /boot/map
install = /boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout = 20
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = linux
root = /dev/sda1
append = "mem=128M"

The 'boot=' line should definitely be /dev/sda (as that is
your boot drive), not /dev/sda1. I don't see any root= line
in your file, and I don't think that 'map' should equal
System.map...
At least the lilo.conf file I gave you would work on a Red Hat
Linux 5.X machine with the drive layout you specified...
