But LILO diskettes can have several alternate (yes, "alternate"; in
the sense of "substitute") kernal images. Perhaps three might fit
on a single boot diskette, with a boot-time message explaining how
to choose between them.
You can do this with syslinux, too. I think (correct me if I'm wrong,
someone) that you can do everything with syslinux that you can do with
LILO.
