Erm ... kinda ... the major point SuSE seemed to want us to understand,
correct me if I'm wrong, is that you need to run LILO on anything EXCEPT
'/boot'!  I.e., the MBR or anywhere below the good 'ol <1024 cylinder
limit (except a partition named '/boot') -- or floppy boot (bah!).

I'm just ticked at myself because I lost the addendum that said exactly
what to do to keep this problem from happening! Grrr ...

Anyone else? <sigh>
