Greetings 'putyournamehere':
I would be surprised if lilo isn't already installed. Check with:
dpkg -l lilo
If you see something like:
ii lilo 22.2-3
Then it's installed. Just run /sbin/lilo and it should write to the mbr. If
you don't have lilo, then install it and the config should walk you through
it. Also, if you have questions, use 'man lilo' and I think 'man lilo.conf'.
