Nope.
zeus:~# /sbin/lilo
Added Linux (alias 1) *
Added Win98 (alias 2)
My /etc/lilo.conf is:
# Specifies the boot device. This is where Lilo installs its boot
# block. It can be either a partition, or the raw device, in which
# case it installs in the MBR, and will overwrite the current MBR.
#
boot=/dev/hda
# Specifies the device that should be mounted as root. (`/')
#
root=/dev/hda5
# Installs the specified file as the new boot sector
#
install=/boot/boot.b
# Specifies the location of the map file
#
map=/boot/map
#delay=20
message=/boot/bootmess.txt

| Does the output of -

zeus:~# rdev
/dev/hda5 /
Be seeing you,
