lilo puts the MBR where you told it ...
        vi /etc/lilo.conf
                boot=/dev/xxxx  

        that is where it isntalls it

- if you have preveious ran other tools that installs MBRs, than those
  MBR is used instead
        - there is an MBR for /dev/hda
        - there is an MBR for /dev/hda1
        - there is an MBR for /dev/hda2
        ....
        for each disk

raid or not.. multiple diskss or not .. you can still see if oyu can
boot off the other disk

- its still NOT a lilo bug that you get a warning messages, though it may
  not be what you want it to say
