I cant quite see what LILO or the /mbr for that matter has to do with "any"
other partition on "any" drive, so i suspect you are putting the blame
"unfoundedly" on LILO.
However if you wish to uninstall lilo thats very easy,
'lilo -u /boot/boot.NNNN'
When lilo is installed the file boot.NNNN is written to the boot directory.
The file /boot/boot.NNNN conatains the old boot sector information, which
will then be written back to the /mbr when lilo -u /boot/boot.NNN is
executed.
