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.
