You can use the default=label option, where label is replaced by an image??™s label name, to
indicate that a particular image be used as the default boot image. If that option is excluded, the
first image listed in the /etc/lilo.conf file is used as the default. For example, to start the
image labeled new by default, add the following line to lilo.conf:
default=new
Change the delay from 5 seconds to something greater if you want LILO to wait longer before starting
the default image. This gives you more time to boot a different image. To change the value from
5 seconds (50) to 15 seconds (150), add the following line:
delay=150
You can change the message that appears before the LILO prompt by adding that message to a file
and changing the message line. For example, you could create a /boot/boot.message file and
add the following words to that file: Choose linux, new, or dos. To have that message
appear before the boot prompt, add the following line to /etc/lilo.conf:
message=/boot/boot.message
All per-image options begin with either an image= line (indicating a Linux kernel) or other=
(indicating some other kind of operating system, such as Windows XP). The per-image options
apply to particular boot images rather than to all images (as global options do).
