I tried setting up bo on a friend's hard drive today -- actually,
two different hard drives, one IDE and one SCSI, both 3.2 gig drives
which have more than 1024 cylinders.

to be root, then a swap partition, then other partit

I recently installed Debian v1.3 on an old intel 386 test system. Everything
in the installation went fine (but I did have to low-level format the hard
drive to make the partitions properly). After the installation I rebooted
the system like it asked me to. It seemed that everything was loading up
John, thanks, very useful.
I hope this all finds it's way into a FAQ; (before it changes!).

Here is what the lilo manual says:

LILO automatically makes backup copies when it overwrites boot sectors.
They are named /boot/boot., with corresponding to the device
