The bootdisks install lilo on the same partition where the root
filesystem is installed (it's on the base system). The MBR boots lilo
from that partition. So, it's possible to use a different lilo.conf while
installing the system, and give options to boot other OSes on the same
machine. We just don't have the lilo.conf editor ready yet (but we want
to have it for potato).
