Sure... here it is
---- /etc/lilo.conf ----
boot = /dev/hda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 1200
vga = ask
# this is the only kernel that boots.
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.1.119
root = /dev/hda5
append = "mem=128M"
label = linux
read-only
# this kernel does *not* boot
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.1.125
root = /dev/hda5
append = "mem=128M"
label = linux-125
read-only
---- end of /etc/lilo.conf ----
