Femme, you may of hit on the solution. I'm not sure whether it will not only write to floppy but also insist on writing to MBR as well. My experience is that once in install lilo you aren't left with a choice, so that even if you elect to create boot floppy which is what your saying, it still wants to write something to MBR when finished.
Hmmm, wants trying .

I was in a situation similar to yours some months back John. I tried it & on 8.x & 9.0 it worked fine. Lilo just needed to write somewhere, it didn't care where...and I had no Lilo on my hard drive afterwards. Worth a shot as I don't think MDK would rewrite lilo code to purposefully screw someone out of dualbooting the way you are wishing to set it up.
