Yes, once I did install LILO to my harddisk;
then I brought up the menu again and chose
``NO'' when asked. Evidently, once the loader
installs, it's <<forever>>!
I'll have to check /etc/lilo.conf (if I can
get to it) tonight my time. Last night I
poked around using the ash shell but couldn't
make much sense of the fs layout. Would lilo.conf
perhaps be in /target/etc/lilo.conf?
BTW, this (Debian + FBSD) is on a separate box.
Not yet linked to the rest of the world... .
