When I say 'installing Lilo' I mean where the Lilo first stage boot loader
goes, not the actual /sbin/lilo program (i.e., 'boot=' in lilo.conf)

To state again, Lilo 21.6.1 installed as in the first block of the bootable
partition (linux in /dev/hda2, starting at a cylinder past 1024) did not 
work for me.  I didn't try installing Lilo 21.6.1 in the MBR.  

Based on your comments, it would seem that Lilo 21.6.1 does boot in lba32 mode,
but only if the Lilo boot block is installed in the MBR, no?
