When my machine boots, lilo menu appears with different boot options. I can either select option, or wait for default option to boot automatically. Now, I would like to have the possibility select a boot option, and change the kernel command line parameters (what is defined in the append line). In syslinux (a different boot loader), when I am presented with the menu, I can move to desired item in the menu and press TAB, and the append line appears on the command line so that I can edit it. How can I to do the same in lilo? Below is my lilo.conf: boot=/dev/sda root=/dev/sda1 map=/boot/map lba32 prompt timeout=50 default=Linux image=/boot/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only append="rootfstype=ext4 net.ifnames=0 loglevel=4 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 3"
