<title>Install the <command>LILO</command> Boot Loader
on a Hard Disk</title>
<para>
The second &architecture; boot loader is called <quote>LILO</quote>.
It is an old complex program which offers lots of functionality,
including DOS, Windows, and OS/2 boot management. Please carefully
read the instructions in the directory
<filename>/usr/share/doc/lilo/</filename> if you have special needs;
also see the <ulink url="&url-lilo-howto;">LILO mini-HOWTO</ulink>.
</para>
<note><para>
Currently the LILO installation will only create menu entries for other
operating systems if these can be <firstterm>chainloaded</firstterm>.
This means you may have to manually add a menu entry for operating
systems like GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd after the installation.
</para></note>
<para>
&d-i; offers you three choices on where to install the
<command>LILO</command> boot loader:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Master Boot Record (MBR)</term><listitem><para>
This way the <command>LILO</command> will take complete control of the
boot process.
</para></listitem></varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>new &debian; partition</term><listitem><para>
Choose this if you want to use another boot
manager. <command>LILO</command> will install itself at the beginning
of the new &debian; partition and it will serve as a secondary boot
loader.
</para></listitem></varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Other choice</term><listitem><para>
Useful for advanced users who want to install <command>LILO</command>
somewhere else. In this case you will be asked for desired
location. You can use traditional device names such as
<filename>/dev/sda</filename>.
</para></listitem></varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</para><para>
If you can no longer boot into Windows 9x (or DOS) after this step,
you'll need to use a Windows 9x (MS-DOS) boot disk and use the
<userinput>fdisk /mbr</userinput> command to reinstall the MS-DOS
master boot record — however, this means that you'll need to use
some other way to get back into &debian;!
