Oh that has been around for some time. How about editing lilo.conf to say password=password restricted this way you can not pass options to lilo unless you know the password. Also you can as well set the timeout to zero. Don't forget the restricted entry otherwise you machien won't boot without a password.
Alas the timeout option is meaningless, ideally setting timeout=0 would make lilo accept no user input and boot straight to the default OS. perhaps this is a feature request. Kurt Seifried SecurityPortal, your focal point for security on the net http://www.securityportal.com/
