Its not lilo that needs to be install in the first 1024 cylinders, its
the boot partition or at least the kernel and all related files in the
/boot directory. This is a good reason to configure your disk partitions
with /boot as the first linux partition. My /boot partition is only 16MB
(requested at boot but the actual partition size is 22648kb) and I have
had no problems loading it up with 7 or 8 initrd images and experimental
kernels plus all the other files.
