It is not exactly OS independant. You need to create an /etc/lilo.conf
file, and the run "lilo" to install the bootloader in the MBR (or where
you want). So the bootloader code is OS independant (and mostly
asembler, I suppose), but the lilo program is not. Anyway, it doesn't
mean it can not work ;-)
