I think it might be better to use the Control-X option at lilo boot and
type
linux 1

I don't use quotas but I don't think it wise to use quotas on the root
filesystem. I think it would be better to have separate partitions for
/var or /home or /var/spool/mail or whatever you want to quota and then
it becomes a simple thing to administer.
