Suspect a lilo.conf line length limitation. Try using the \ character at
the end of a line

I've noticed that LILO and boot problems are a large part of the list's traffic.
With as many bright guys (and gals) that there are on this list, why doesn't
someone volunteer to make a LILO setup page. The page could list various
