Ahhh, funny thing about lilo. I have a w95/linux box with each OS on it's own drive (w95 on c, linux on d). Things worked fine for a while. I powered off the PC and left it off for a month or so. When I powered up the PC, I use lilo to select w95 and the c drive is no longer recognized as a system drive and cannot be booted. I can boot linux and mount the w95 disk as a dos drive from linux. I know this is off-topic from FreeBSD, but people often mix OS's on their platforms and might rethink using lilo as a boot manager based on both our experiences.
