Frank - I can't find it right now, but I think  you just rerun lilo.
It's /bin/lilo or /sbin/lilo or something like that . I do remember 
reading it at one point in time.
IIRC, it was really simple.
What  you basically need to do is edit the file, and force lilo to 
reread the file, instead of using the copy the machine has cached.
Check and see if there's a Howto text file for lilo buried some where.
Hope this helps.
