Why the delay?  In case we accidentally left the floppy disk in the 
computer?  I may omit this line.

This causes Error:0x09 when I try to boot with framebuffer kernel.
Why did you use 'compact'?

What do these last two lines do?  Are they part of install-to-hd?
Can I omit them if I won't be installing from my fb setup to hd?

After I edit out 'compact' (and maybe also the 5 sec delay) do I insert 
the floppy disk and run lilo using this lilo.conf, and then use dd to make 
a new disk1f.img from the floppy disk?  (Running BL ext2).  I forgot what 
I did but it was complicated.

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=disk1f.img (to rewrite the altered fd to a file)
