I believe that LILO is a boot sector program that comes with Linux,
which allows you to choose which operating system to run. Alternatively,
you can elect to run DOS :-)
Perhaps there is some way to make LILO load b.com? (either directly, or
by loading a copy of /sys/src/boot/pc/bb from a fake dos partition?). I
don't know if there is, I am not a Linux guru either...
