Like Steven says you need install lilo using installpkg,
but...

there is a problem with the version of lilo from Slackware
7.1, I use this once and when I run lilo it says the kernel
zimage provided with BL2 is too big, then someone in this
list suggest to me use lilo from slackware 7.0 instead. If
you want to use lilo use this.

I'm agree with Steven the first times when I try use lilo
were some problematic, but, I've learned tryng to solve
those problems. Thanks to Steven and all in this list I have
lerned very much about Linux.
