I just can give you my lilo.conf - it works for me :{).
I have everything on one IDE hard drive.
FreeBSD stanza is the first one. As you see I don't tell anything to
LILO except FreeBSD partition.
I remember that when I had FreeBSD on second fisical hard drive
I needed to play with loader parameter.
Good luck!
