Re: Strange LILO question

Is it possible to set LILO on a DOS floppy disk

if you mean install the lilo boot sector on the DOS floppy then no, dosfs does not leave any room for a bootblock, so installing lilo on it would destroy the dos filesystem, which would not be problem except you say you want to boot from it.

you can however install lilo on a floppy and have it boot the hard disk.
