+The main &architecture; boot loader is called <quote>grub</quote>.
+Grub is a flexible and robust boot loader and a good default choice for
+newbies and old hands alike.
+

+
+By default, grub will be installed into the Master Boot Record (MBR), where
+it will take over complete control of the boot process. If you prefer, you
+can install it elsewhere. See the grub manual for complete information.

+
+If you do not want to install grub at all, use the Back button to get to
+the main menu, and from there select whatever bootloader you would like to
+use.

+ <title>Install the <command>LILO</command> Boot Loader
+ on a Hard Disk</title>
+<para>
+
+The second &architecture; boot loader is called <quote>LILO</quote>.
+It is an old complex program which offers lots of functionality,
+including DOS, Windows, and OS/2 boot management. Please carefully
+read the instructions in the directory
+<filename>/usr/share/doc/lilo/</filename> if you have special needs;
+also see the <ulink url="&url-lilo-howto;">LILO mini-HOWTO</ulink>.
+
+</para>
+<note><para>
+
+Currently the LILO installation will only create menu entries for other
+operating systems if these can be <firstterm>chainloaded</firstterm>.
+This means you may have to manually add a menu entry for operating
+systems like linux and the hurd after the installation.
+
+</para></note>
+<para>
+
+&d-i; presents you three choices where to install the
+<command>LILO</command> boot loader:

+<term>Master Boot Record (MBR)</term><listitem><para>
+
+This way the <command>LILO</command> will take complete control of the
+boot process.
+
+</para></listitem></varlistentry>
+<varlistentry>
+<term>new Debian partition</term><listitem><para>
+
+Choose this if you want to use another boot
+manager. <command>LILO</command> will install itself at the begining
+of the new Debian partition and it will serve as a secondary boot
+loader.
+
+</para></listitem></varlistentry>
+<varlistentry>
+<term>Other choice</term><listitem><para>
+
+Useful for advanced users who want to install <command>LILO</command>
+somewhere else. In this case you will be asked for desired
+location. You can use devfs style names, such as those that start with
+<filename>/dev/ide</filename>, <filename>/dev/scsi</filename>, and
+<filename>/dev/discs</filename>, as well as traditional names, such as
+<filename>/dev/hda</filename> or <filename>/dev/sda</filename>.
+
+</para></listitem></varlistentry>
+</variablelist>
+
+</para><para>
+
+If you can no longer boot into Windows 9x (or DOS) after this step,
+you'll need to use a Windows 9x (MS-DOS) boot disk and use the
+<userinput>fdisk /mbr</userinput> command to reinstall the MS-DOS
+master boot record &mdash; however, this means that you'll need to use
+some other way to get back into Debian! For more information on this
+please read <xref linkend="reactivating-win"/>.
