1. Strange problem with LILO Delay

I've setup LILO to boot linux or dos, with
30s delay before automatically boot linux.

I've tried this on three differents systems, one
PCI with SCSI disk, one PCI with IDE disk and
one ISA with IDE disk.

With each system, I can't get the string "LILO boot:".

It stops with LIL or LILO or LILO b    !!!!

Then, after 30s, it boots LILO, whatever I type....!!!

The only way I found to get booting DOS was to set LILO
to forever wait my input. Like this, all works fine...but
I sometimes need to remote boot my linux box.......!

I use Slackware 3.0 with kernel 1.2.13

Here's my lilo.conf:
********************
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/sda
#compact        # faster, but won't work on all systems.
prompt
vga = normal    # force sane state
ramdisk = 0     # paranoia setting
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /zImage
  root = /dev/sdb2
  label = linux
  read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for
checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# DOS bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/sda1
  label = dos
  table = /dev/sda
# DOS bootable partition config ends
*********************

Any idea about this problem?

2. About porting linux to a new platform

3. solved problems ["error -2", delay pppd, X delay, grey screen]

4. resetting Quotas

5. delaying automatic boot from lilo

6. insmod problems

7. LILO delay

8. Serious problems getting masquerading to work

9. Modify LILO boot delay -> 0?

10. Alsa sound delay with SuSE 8.0 (4-second delay)

11. Setting delay (Was changing monitor power down delay on Ultra 5?)

12. getty: 16 chars, delay, 16 chars, delay..

13. eth0 and eth1 "Delaying eth0 Initialization" and "Delaying eth1 Initialization" errors
