The prompts you are referring to aren't LILO prompts. When you run liloconfig LILO isn't installed as the master boot loader on your system another program is (I can't recall the name of the program that is used, but look thru the liloconfig script for details and then look into the appropriate /usr/doc subdirectory for boot manager configuration options.)
Alternatively, skip liloconfig and create your own lilo.conf file that installs lilo as master boot loader. You have a lot more options available and a lot more features as well (lilo can load a boot sector from a logical partition or load the kernel directly from a logical partition for example, the boot manager used with bo can only load boot sectors from primary partitions.)
