Didn't get your point here ... AFAIK, there is no LOST on LILO
as yet. If you are suggesting use of xosl in a LOST, welcome.
I'll give this "xosl" a try. Can put up a LOST based on the
results.

Obviously wrong. You can create a boot disk at any time, be it
with dedicated software like mkbootdisk, scripts (like the one
on my site), loadlin or syslinux ...

Not quite, MBR is suitable enough, though keeping at 1st sector
of root partition is advisable.

Slackware on /dev/hda2
Debian on /deb/hdb1
Pygmy on /dev/hda1 (UMSDOS)

To get the ls of directories only without a listing of files
in that directory:
$ls -d */ .... if you are on bash shell.
You may alias a command ( alias lsd='ls -d */' ) and place it
in your .profile or the sytem /etc/profile ...
