this can be made a *little* easier in your case, and a lot easier for anyone
who uses NT bootloader on a fat partition. In your lilo.conf say:
boot=/dosc/bootsect.lin
instead of a device, and your bootsector will be written to the file, no
need to do the 'dd' thing everytime! I do this all the time with much
success.
I submitted this tip to the maintainer of the relevent FAQ ages ago but i
don't think it's
maintained anymore...
