The README file in the /usr/share/doc/lilo-21.4.4 directory discusses
the 1024 limitation and how to bypass it.  It is covered under the
section labeled BIOS restrictions.

I'm not sure if MS changed how the boot loader works from NT 4.0 to
2K.  If it hasn't changed, the following HOWTO should help out (I've
used it before):
