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.)

upgrade to lilo-22.5.7.2
use pkgsrc tool to replace path to sh and path to perl
perl is used for keytab-lilo script --
maybe rewrite?
maybe the examples should be put in an examples directory?
this should note that it uses $PREFIX/boot
should put under share/lilo/boot
or set LOCALBASE to / for just /boot
also check what this is for
cat $ROOT/etc/lilo.defines
maybe that changes the build
this should install a lilo.conf with conf files
# boot/ directory may have file boot.300 or whatever later generated
for example:
Backup copy of boot sector in /usr/boot/boot.1600
# have option to copy to /boot in addition or instead of PREFIX/boot
# maybe include QuickInst as example
depends on ...
# bin86 builds under Linux but not NetBSD, and
# bcc builds under NetBSD, but not Linux -- both need to be fixed
#BUILD_DEPENDS+= bcc>=95.3.12:../../devel/bcc
BUILD_DEPENDS+= bin86>=0.16.9:../../devel/bin86
