Surely you would set that up in the bios.

The shell script distributed with LILO, "mkrescue", can create a bootable ISO
image. YOUR BIOS MUST SUPPORT CDROM BOOTING.

> mkrescue --iso
> cdrecord rescue.iso

No, it is not possible cause lilo requires the boot sectors image to
boot from and with a CD that would be different with each CD. So, the
only way you can boot from a CD is by changing the boot sequence in the
BIOS.
