After creating a disk partition, simply copy the image.flo file onto
that partition with dd. In order to get it started with LILO, just
use:

other=/dev/hda1
loader=/boot/chain.b
label=netboot

Please let me know if this works, because I've never tried it myself
using LILO, but only with the OS/2 boot manager.
