Doesn't make a difference, because FC4 also used GRUB.

No, afair it is the backup copy of the boot sector before LILO was
installed into it. The backups have different names for (E)IDE and
SCSI. Read the manual page. It's explained there.

/boot/boot.b is part of LILO. If you lost it, reinstall LILO.
