That worked...sortof. Lilo started Linux up immediatly without an option
screen. I recieved a brief text line, "Lilo 22.2: starting Linux"
and the local kernel booted.

I was booting XP with LILO as an "other" like this:
other="Windows XP Home"
boot=/dev/hda1
The entry remains in lilo.conf, but it did not seem to have any effect when
booting from a floppy.
