You can always do that by appending init=/bin/sh (for example) to the
kernel line when booting, so when lilo comes up, you append this text to
the kernel name.  You don't need to change lilo.conf unless you need
this very often, then it might be convenient to do so.  In lilo.conf you
would also just put

  append="init=/bin/sh"

to the kernel entry.
