Thank you for the help! What I've learnt: The first bootloader (e.g. lilo) is only installable at the first harddisk, either in the MBR or in any boot-block of its bootable partition, according to the line 'boot=/dev/sda' or 'boot=/dev/sdaXX' in lilo.conf. But: If I comment out the the line 'boot=/dev/sda' or change it to 'boot=/dev/sda1'(supposed sda1 is a bootable partition), rerun lilo and reboot. Will the MBR in this case be cleared and ready for the installation of another bootloader ? cheers Christian
