I do not perform a full hd install, so I may not be the best guy to give you advice but I'll try anyway.
If you boot from the livecd, the root filesystem is a ramdisk and not your hard drive partition.
You can access it as user root by typing:
sudo su
However, much of the filesystem is symlinks back to the /KNOPPIX compressed image (a read-only filesystem on the CD disk), so it is read-only.
You can either copy the lilo.conf over to a writable directory like /home/dsl/ and edit it, OR
you can try and find the file that should be sitting on your hard drive by mounting it and looking around, ie:
mount /mnt/hda1
cd /mnt/hda1/boot/
ls
etc...
or you can use the Midnight Commander file manger if you prefer:
mc
If you need to install a bootloader, you can run the mkliloboot script, if I remember the name correctly.
Once you are done editing the file, you will need to activate your changes by running the "lilo" command.
