No. LILO is only designed to LOad LInux, or to chainload to a
bootloader that understands another operating system. Only GRUB (and
any other Multiboot loaders out there) can load GNU Mach and the Hurd.
B> -why can the hurd flag for the fs not be used ?
Because the partition type tells people what kind of filesystem there
is. Currently, we use Linux EXT2FS (partition type 83, described as
`Linux'), and BSD UFS (which has several different types).
When there is a GNU FS, then we'll probably use the code that was
reserved for `GNU Hurd'.
