I _had_ a msdos partition and wanted the option of running lilo or, if
I was running dos or windows, running loadlin off the same image.  Following
the lilo README and lilo.conf manpage, copies all the files in /boot to the
msdos directory where I had the kernel image and symlinked /boot to that
directory.  I rewrote /etc/lilo.conf--incorrectly as it turned out--and
ran lilo.  Lilo rewrote the boot sector of the msdos partition, not the
mbr of the drive.  The partition is no longer readable.  Lilo may well
have made a copy of the boot sector before overwriting it...but the copy,
if it exists, is on the non-readable partition.  Any assistance would
be greatly appreciated.
