You have to use bootutils found in sunsite.unc.edu, read the README
carefully, don't forget to mount your filesystem read-only *AFTER* you
installed bootutils proberly (with rdev or, better, put 'read-only' in your
/etc/lilo/config and rerun lilo).
This problem dosn't apear in SLACKWARE, there are the bootutils properly
installed.
