man lilo tells me that the key combination is Shift,Ctrl,Alt,CapsLock.
During booting the LILO is only displayed for a split second.
Executing /sbin/lilo -d 200 does not change the display time. I was expecting
it to be 20 seconds.
In any case, nothing happened that would get me into a command line mode.
I also tried to remove the 'prompt' line from the config file. This does not
seem to make any difference either.
