Thanks!
The reason I was looking at an option other than a bios password was so that
I can reboot the box remotely. The options you specified for LILO will only
require a password if parameters are specified on the command line (e.g.
single, correct?

You can do this from the /etc/lilo.conf file. Add the following lines
right below the "label=linux":
password="yourpassword"

Don't forget to change the permissions on the file so no other user can
read the password. Of course, you can also set a password in the BIOS,
and that would make more sense to me. It would be more secure, I think.
