I don't think so. As near as I can tell, and I'm running 7.1 it's the same
old LILO. Steady and true. The easiest thing to do to overcome this
obstacle is to make a partition "/boot" your first partition. Make it
about 10MB in size and you are then free to make the rest of the
partitions as large as you want. LILO will load fine and be happy.
My partition(s) are laid out like this:
/boot = 10MB
/ = 4GB
LILO is very happy this way on large drives.
