Can someone guide me from here:
Compiled the kernel to /usr/src/linux-2.4.18/linux
Copied bzImage from /arch/i386/boot to /boot
Now I have:

I looked for lilo.conf, but only found /etc/lilo.conf.anaconda, which looks
like this:
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda2
