yup... i originally missed the word "partition" prior to my reply,
but also lilo does not need /boot directory or partition
since it can put "vmlinuz" and the optional "intird" anywhere

	- however, if lilo references /vmlinuz  or /anyplace/vmlinuz,
	than that "/anyplace" partition needs to be under 512MB for
	old style bios ... new style bios wont care

loads of confusion for when you need /boot and when not
and when a partition or not ... :-)   it's ez once you waive
the magic wand
