If no default option is given the first entry is considered the default. (As
indicated by the * that appears after the label when you run lilo.)
If you're always booting off one drive (IE, not running mutiple linux
distros) you can set things like read-only and root=/dev/sda9 above the
images so an image entry is simply:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18
label=2.2.18
Anyway, on to problem solving.
The problem I see below is the boot option. Your boot option should be the
device name of your first hard drive, (hard disk 0) not the partition that
Linux is installed to, not the first partition on the first hard drive, the
device name of the first hard drive (/dev/hda for IDE, /dev/sda for SCSI.)
Setting it to anything else will result in the broken LILO prompt (Displays
LI then does nothing.) or no LILO prompt at all.
