Hopefully Brett is just having a bad day.
I think it's a very reasonable question, and I remember trying to solve
it myself. I can't rember quite how I did it, so I'll try to give a few
clues and hope someone else can fill in the gaps. Remember, we're
talking about linux here. The O/S that is developed the the internet
community. RTFM is only possible because someone is prepared to Write
The F?????? Manual (WTFM).

I think the solution is to read the man page for lilo.

Type the command that sets the command line for the next reboot as "dos"
or whatever.

Run /sbin/lilo to reconfigure the lilo.config file.

best of luck
