Is this so?
I thought, that if for example I install LILO in /dev/hda3 (instead of
in the mbr), this partition has to be bootable too.
OK, this does not mean, that lilo cares about it, but a relation
between the two is still there, even without M$
But after all, I may be totally wrong here since I use mbr.
