Nice to know that this can be done in lilo.   ;-)

But I wouldn´t go that way. Consider W9x (or even DOS)
had to be reinstalled in the future. Simply booting off
of a DOS/W9x floppy or a W9x installation CD would
short-circuit this lilo trick ... (although a lilo-
wizard should be able to boot off of all those media
from lilo)
