I think it is related to the fact that lilo cant work on HarDisks that has
more than 1024 cylinders.
lilo just cant jump that far.
if you wish to use lilo for multiple boot loading I recommend you to use
GRUB, it comes as standard in Caldera' s dist's but you can get it / read
about it at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub.en.html
or
