Yep, very true.  I couldnt find the exact reason in google within the minute 
so ill try to explain from memory.  In basic lilo doesnt actually read 
lilo.conf during bootup, only when it is run from the command line.  During 
bootup it reads some sort of cached config that is stored in the boot sector 
[If I remember correctly].  Whereas the modern 'replacement', grub, does 
actually read grub.conf :o)
