> Anyone want to share LILO success stories?

I boot plan9 from the secondary slave on my desktop, and from the primary
master's 4th partition on the laptop, both using lilo.  I didn't do anything
special, just plugged in a "let's see if this works" value and it did.  This
is R3, BTW.

lilo entry on desktop:

other = /dev/hdd1
    label = plan9
    table = /dev/hdd


You can also play games with map-drive, here's what I used to trick NT4 since
it only wants to boot off the primary master:

# other = /dev/hdd1
#     label = nt
#     map-drive = 0x83    # E:
#         to = 0x80       # to C:
#     map-drive = 0x80
#         to = 0x83


It seemed to work then.

You can see I replaced NT with a more interesting system :)
