Yes. But for me it's not quite interesting if you are in low security

To make booting more secure I suggest under mcc>boot>boot config, youput the option to setup a password for LILO. This would lock down theboot process and make it more secure to avoid the possibility of linux-s mode etc. 

the feature exists but it'll shownonly if you are in security level 4 at least.Otherwise you should set it manually and change the /etc/lilo.confpermissions to be readable only by root.
