Here is the top part of my lilo.conf:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
delay=200
prompt
default="linux"
keytable=/boot/us.klt
timeout=100
message=/boot/message

image=/boot/vmlinuz
	label="linux"
	root=/dev/hda6
	initrd=/boot/initrd.img
	append="devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent"
	vga=788
	read-only
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I set the delay =200 with the intention to give me more time.
I run /sbin/lilo after I edited the file.
Rebooting the computer still showed LILO only for a very short time before the 
boot menu was displayed. Holding the left shift key did not have any effect.

I am  persuing this issue only for interest sake. I am quite happy with the 
bash-3.0 and will probably never need to revert back to the bash-2.05 
version. It just bugs me not being able to accomplish what you guys are so 
sure that it can be done easily.
Any further suggestions???   (I already read the man pages for lilo and 
lilo.conf)
