That's exactly what you do.
This is the same method that I use to boot and it works very
well. Don't forget to run /sbin/lilo once you've entered it.
#/etc/lilo.conf
#boot from floppy
boot=/dev/fd0
#root is first HDD, partition 3
#(you'll probably want to change this)
root=/dev/hda3
compact
delay=20
read-only
image=/vmlinuz
label=linux
