Well, since lilo is text based, the best you can do is ascii-art. You use the "message=" directive. See 'man lilo.conf' for details. I never tried the ANSI escape sequences, but it may be worth a try depending on which VGA mode you boot into. The lilo prompt comes AFTER the message file is displayed, so you are limited to 24 lines. I used to display an ascii art file of a road leading into a sunset over mountains. It wasn't great, but better than a bare "lilo:" prompt. (BTW, using the message file is how Red Hat puts their boot messages on the screen when you install Red Hat. So, given that, I guess that ANSI escape sequences are supported. Perhaps look at the lilo.conf on the install boot diskette for an example.)
