Just to clarify:  FreeBSD doesn't use LILO; it has its own boot-loader
(which I, for one, like a lot better than LILO--for one simple reason:
it defaults to the last system booted).

However, you may have either told FreeBSD not to install its boot-loader
when you did the install, or you may be getting a "daisy-chained" LILO
being invoked from the Linux partition after the FreeBSD boot loader
already picked Linux.

Are you getting a F1/F2 type of prompt before the LIL stuff comes out?
