Have you looked at the CD-Writing HOWTO in Slackware 7.1?
Section 2.1 (Quickstart) will probably help.

They are different hardware interfaces.  If your CDrom drive
plugs into your IDE interface (like a standard HD), it becomes
/dev/hdb  or  /dev/hdc  or similar.  If your CDrom drive is
SCSI, then it plugs into a different type of interface and
becomes /dev/sda  or  /dev/sdb  or similar.

LILO has nothing to do with this.  Once the kernel starts booting,
it makes no difference how it was started.
