Jeremy C. Reed 85dba889e8 LILO is the Linux boot loader. It includes combined boot sector,
generic chain loader, map installer, and a simple boot partition setter.
LILO allows booting from multiple disks, and can have menus for choosing
different boot images. LILO is also able to pass command-line options
to the Linux kernel.

LILO does not depend on a specific file system, can boot Linux kernel
images from floppy disks and from hard disks, and can even act as a
"boot manager" for other operating systems.

(I have been using this in pkgsrc since November, 2002.)

If you are using LILO as your boot loader, then
${PREFIX}/sbin/lilo should now be run to complete the update.
Also, if using lilo, whenever any of the Linux kernel files
that are used by LILO are moved or overwritten, the map should
be re-built by running lilo(8).
Sample lilo.conf files are in ${PREFIX}/share/lilo/.
