Is it true what I've heard, though, that if you are for instance running
EZ-BIOS (Maxtor's bios extension, to get around the 512M limit for
larger
disks), it loads itself into the MBR and then when LILO comes around to
putting itself in the MBR, it gags because EZ-BIOS is there?
I've been told that no matter how hard I work to avoid the 1023cylander
problem
as long as EZ-BIOS is in MBR, I will not get LILO to work. Is this true?
