In general, no. However, if you boot DOS or Windows first, then use
loadlin to start Linux, some hardware devices may be configured by
DOS/Windows. This can be useful if you have a device which Linux can
access once it's initialised, but can't actually initialise itself.

If your BIOS allows you to boot from a specific hard drive, you should
just be able to tell it to boot from the second drive (D:). Otherwise,
you can configure lilo to write its boot sector to the MBR of the
first drive (C:).

Add something like
append = ether=10,0x300,eth0
to lilo.conf.
