3. Notes

• The reason for making LILO afresh instead of using the one on the rescue floppy is that the lilo executable must match the boot programs, otherwise you get mysterious errors like Map segment is too big. For example the LILO in tomsbtrt is version 20.
• Since LILO relies on the boot images staying at their block locations on the disk, if you ever defrag the partition containing the boot/ files, and the files get moved as a result, then LILO will fail. So it would be a good idea to mark those files as unmovable (system and RO I think). If you accidentally move the images, then you have to run the LILO install step again.
