Easiest way to get used to how lilo uses the entries, as root:
copy to lilo.conf.old. (cp lilo.conf lilo.conf.old)

Assuming your using 8.1: Open Control Center, choose Boot on the menu on the 
left,  Choose Boot Config then choose configure. On the small window that 
pops up choose OK. It will bring up one more small window, click on the 
windows entry and choose modify. Select default, then OK, then done.

In a shell as root type lilo -v (making sure there are no errors).

Now you can look at the two versions (lilo.conf and lilo.conf.old) and see 
how it changed the entries.

I often chose this method to review how things changed entries to learn the 
symantics.

A visual is worth more than words.

Your good to go.

Cheers
