nuni now includes a multi-boot selector, which is called nunimbr. So
I'll use this as an excuse to mention nuni again. Here's part of the
README
nuni is a boot loader for Linux, using ext2 file system and IDE drives.
The
LILO may be able to break the 1024 cylinder barrier, but it _cannot_ break
the 8G barrier,. This is bacause of how lilo stores the sector address. The
address is only 24bits + drive specifier (8bits, 1 used as LINEAR address
identifier)+ sector count (8 bits).
Yah, the LILO 1st stage loader

The reason for this particular loader is to avoid bios limitations by
not
using the bios. For example, there is no 1024 cylinder problem
because the concept of cyliders is not used. There is also no problem
with a difference
