i assume the "other machines ip" is after the slave has been changed
into master
you cannot tell lilo to boot a remote machine
you can tell pxe boot to boot off the other remote nfs-server machine
and this machine does not have any disks

each machine should have its own copy of mirrored data
of what ever you need ...
- try it and see ... is your only real answer ..
- nobody else knows where you put all your data and how
your system is installed

and your more import conf files is in /etc and cannot be live on the
