Please carefully +read the instructions in the directory +/usr/share/doc/lilo/ if you have special needs; +also see the LILO mini-HOWTO. + + + + +Currently the LILO installation will only create menu entries for other +operating systems if these can be chainloaded. +This means you may have to manually add a menu entry for operating +systems like GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd after the installation. + + + + +&d-i; presents you three choices where to install the +LILO boot loader: + + + +Master Boot Record (MBR) + +This way the LILO will take complete control of the +boot process. + + + +new Debian partition + +Choose this if you want to use another boot +manager. LILO will install itself at the beginning +of the new Debian partition and it will serve as a secondary boot +loader. + + + +Other choice + +Useful for advanced users who want to install LILO +somewhere else. In this case you will be asked for desired +location. You can use devfs style names, such as those that start with +/dev/ide, /dev/scsi, and +/dev/discs, as well as traditional names, such as +/dev/hda or /dev/sda. + + + + + + +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 +fdisk /mbr command to reinstall the MS-DOS +master boot record — however, this means that you'll need to use +some other way to get back into Debian!
