The BL1 lilo package comes preconfigured for BasicLinux.
The Slackware 7.1 package doesn't.

Something like:
------------------
boot=/dev/hda
image=/boot/zimage
label=BasicLinux
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
------------------
Make sure you put your kernel (zimage) in the /boot directory.
I think you also need a boot.b there (although I'm not sure
where that comes from). Then execute "lilo -v"

Note: I do not personally use lilo and I do not recommend
it to newbies.

Cheers,
Steven
