image stanza: LILO divides its configuration file into sections called stanzas. An image stanza is the section dedicated to describing how one particular bootable partition will be booted.

An image stanza starts with a line starting with "image = ", like:

# Stanza for Linux with root partition on /dev/hda2.
   image = /boot/vmlinuz   # Location of kernel
   label = linux           # Name of OS (for the LILO boot menu)
   root = /dev/hda2        # Location of root partition
   vga = ask               # Ask for VGA text mode at boot time

Stanza quoted from http://www.tamersahin.net/books/run/ch05_02.htm. See that page and search on "stanza".
