Much of it gets written to the dmesg buffer. To see it there, run the
command "dmesg". Later parts of it will be wherever syslog puts things on
SuSE systems (/var/log/messages is a common place).
But it isn't LILO doing most of what you see. LILO's job ends when the
kernel is loaded. The kernel then runs the init program, which follows the
instructions in /etc/inittab (and other files that one directs it to) to do
all this work.
