This shows another piece of my ignorance.
If you load LILO in the boot record of the partition, does that mean
that the MBR is left as the M$ MBR? In other words, does it only
boot to the partition marked active? Or, can you still multi-boot?
I always avoided this, because I couldn't find out what that option
means.
