NO!!!!
lilo uses your pc bios to boot, it cannot do anything fancy,
it just reads from a disk into memory then jumps there.
in order to boot kernel lilo needs to store a mapfile on
the /boot fs, the disk offset of this file is stored in
lilo 1-st stage loader a 512 byte program, and you cannot read
a striped lv from a 512 byte proggie yet.
