<title>Install the <command>LILO</command> Boot Loader
9
The second &architecture; boot loader is called <quote>LILO</quote>.
10
It is an old complex program which offers lots of functionality,
11
including DOS, Windows, and OS/2 boot management. Please carefully
12
read the instructions in the directory
13
<filename>/usr/share/doc/lilo/</filename> if you have special needs;
14
also see the <ulink url="&url-lilo-howto;">LILO mini-HOWTO</ulink>.
19
Currently the LILO installation will only create menu entries for other
20
operating systems if these can be <firstterm>chainloaded</firstterm>.
21
This means you may have to manually add a menu entry for operating
22
systems like GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd after the installation.
27
&d-i; presents you three choices where to install the
28
<command>LILO</command> boot loader:
32
<term>Master Boot Record (MBR)</term><listitem><para>
34
This way the <command>LILO</command> will take complete control of the
37
</para></listitem></varlistentry>
39
<term>new Debian partition</term><listitem><para>
41
Choose this if you want to use another boot
42
manager. <command>LILO</command> will install itself at the beginning
43
of the new Debian partition and it will serve as a secondary boot
46
</para></listitem></varlistentry>
48
<term>Other choice</term><listitem><para>
50
Useful for advanced users who want to install <command>LILO</command>
51
somewhere else. In this case you will be asked for desired
52
location. You can use devfs style names, such as those that start with
53
<filename>/dev/ide</filename>, <filename>/dev/scsi</filename>, and
54
<filename>/dev/discs</filename>, as well as traditional names, such as
55
<filename>/dev/hda</filename> or <filename>/dev/sda</filename>.

</para></listitem></varlistentry>
62
If you can no longer boot into Windows 9x (or DOS) after this step,
63
you'll need to use a Windows 9x (MS-DOS) boot disk and use the
64
<userinput>fdisk /mbr</userinput> command to reinstall the MS-DOS
65
master boot record — however, this means that you'll need to use
66
some other way to get back into Debian! For more information on this
