Fedora does not use lilo.  In fact, FC2 doesn't even ship with lilo.
FC2 uses grub (and that's also FC1's preference).  The config file is
/boot/grub/grub.conf and it uses a different layout than lilo.conf.  You
need to familiarize yourself with grub and its config files, "man grub",
and "man grub.conf".

This is explained in the release notes included on the first CD of both
FC1 and FC2.
