The latest versions of LILO have a workaround for the 1024 cylinder problem.
Just put 'lba32' (without the quotes) in your /etc/lilo.conf in the main
section (before the images are declared). Then run lilo to write to your boot
sector.
Also, the newer versions have a graphical interface not unlike GRUB :-)
