Hmm... are you running Redhat by any chance? If so, you can remove that graphic selector by moving the /boot/message file to something like /boot/message.old. Then create a text version of what you want displayed on the screen, for example:
Press < enter > to boot the default Linux configuration, or
press < tab > to see other options.
After this, make sure to run /sbin/lilo to make sure it recognizes your changes.
Actually, try running /sbin/lilo after your append="splash=0"
change to make sure lilo is "see"ing it... If that doesn't work, try the above suggestions.
