I have a related question/problem. I have a RH 5.2 system installed and 
running on my 13G hda. The partitions run as /dev/hda1 -> /dosc [~7GB]
/dev/hda2 -> / [3GB], /dev/hda3 -> swap [200MB], /dev/hda4 -> /home [rest].

So initially I tried installing LILO and it failed so I resort now to 
booting with loadlin. My question is this: Is there any utility/tool that 
I can get that will allow me to make a /boot and boot through LILO 
without having to destroy any of the data anywhere on the disk? 

Thanks,
-Karthik.
