Okay, maybe this is crazy, but maybe not :) When digging through my pile
of 3.5" disks that I was to lazy to label (I was looking for my ELKS disk)
I grabbed what turned out to be a slackware boot disk. I stuck in in my
IBM PC, and it started to boot up fine, until Linux got far enough along
to switch out of virtual 8086 mode when it of course died. My point is,
will Lilo run on an 8088 or is there really code in there that will cause
problems?
