OK, but what is the name of the 'boot' image, then?

I also use tomsrtbt, but the problem there is that tomsrtbt is still based
on libc5, so the following happens when I try, for example, to rerun lilo
on a disk which Windows has munged the master boot block on:

  boot from tomsrtbt 1.7.134
  mount /dev/hda3 /mnt
  /mnt/sbin/lilo -r /mnt

and the system says that the command /mnt/sbin/lilo can't be found.
