if he again rund fdisk /mbr then again his lilo will get erased from
BR.( just a correction)
he is trying to say use bootable of others and the run lilo to restore
itself in MBR
but if the configurastion of other is different from this machine i.e
partition information, etc the the boot will fail and hence it is useless
to use this method.
