Then, have a nice day:

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
##^Nicht auf AST: compact        # faster, but won't work on all systems.
delay = 300
vga = normal    # force sane state
ramdisk = 0     # paranoia setting    
# End LILO global section
# DOS bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1
  label = doze
  table = /dev/hda
# DOS bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /zImage.1.3.81
  root = /dev/hda3
  label = linux
  read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking
image = /zImage.1.3.57
  root = /dev/hda3
  label = linux1
  read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# FreeBSD bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda4
  label = bsd
  table = /dev/hda
# FreeBSd bootable partition config ends
