When trying to install lilo on root and if lilo was previously
installed on MBR, you should first remove liloboot code from MBR with the
DOS command FDISK /MBR
If again the boot code is beyond 1023 cylinders, the system BIOS can't
pick up the boot code. For that
Option1: Make the linux native partition the first partition.
Option2: Use LOADLIN.EXE to boot linux from DOS partition and use CHOICE
command to switch between the OS.
