Linux Loader

    (LILO) A boot loader for Linux.  LILO
   does not depend on a specific file system, it can boot Linux
   kernel images from floppy disks and hard disks and can
   even boot other operating systems.  One of up to sixteen
   differernt images can be selected at boot time.  Various
   parameters, such as the root device, can be set
   independently for each kernel.  LILO can even be used as the
   master boot record.
