For My dual processor board here is what the lilo.conf file looks like.
Maybe you can get some idea from this example. Linux smp is being run from
hdf drive, and booted from the hde mbr partition.
boot=/dev/hde
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
lba32
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz-smp
label=linux
root=/dev/hdf1
initrd=/boot/initrd-smp.img
