If you have more than one bootable system, depending on the mount points,
location of bootable images, etc, lilo may be correctly configured for one
OS; but wrong for another...  before removing the drive, boot up every
system, and check their lilo configs based on how the system is configured
for EACH...  it can really test your sanity in some setups...  it'll help
to draw a map showing how everything points to what...  while drawing the
map, remember:  it's a sanity test....  you may be quite surprised to find
where the entries point to...  Good luck!
