9    The second &architecture; boot loader is called <quote>LILO</quote>.
10    It is an old complex program which offers lots of functionality,
11    including DOS, Windows, and OS/2 boot management.  Please carefully
12    read the instructions in the directory
13    <filename>/usr/share/doc/lilo/</filename> if you have special needs;
14    also see the <ulink url="&url-lilo-howto;">LILO mini-HOWTO</ulink>.

18    &d-i; presents you three choices where to install the
19    <command>LILO</command> boot loader:

21    <variablelist>
22    <varlistentry>
23    <term>Master Boot Record (MBR)</term><listitem><para>
24    
25    This way the <command>LILO</command> will take complete control of the
26    boot process.
27    
28    </para></listitem></varlistentry>
29    <varlistentry>
30    <term>new Debian partition</term><listitem><para>
31    
32    Choose this if you want to use another boot
33    manager. <command>LILO</command> will install itself at the begining
34    of the new Debian partition and it will serve as a secondary boot
35    loader.
36    
37    </para></listitem></varlistentry>
38    <varlistentry>
39    <term>Other choice</term><listitem><para>
40    
41    Useful for advanced users who want to install <command>LILO</command>
42    somewhere else. In this case you will be asked for desired
43    location. You can use devfs style names, such as those that start with
44    <filename>/dev/ide</filename>, <filename>/dev/scsi</filename>, and
45    <filename>/dev/discs</filename>, as well as traditional names, such as
46    <filename>/dev/hda</filename> or <filename>/dev/sda</filename>.
47    
48    </para></listitem></varlistentry>
49    </variablelist>

51    </para><para>
52    
53    If you can no longer boot into Windows 9x (or DOS) after this step,
54    you'll need to use a Windows 9x (MS-DOS) boot disk and use the
55    <userinput>fdisk /mbr</userinput> command to reinstall the MS-DOS
56    master boot record &mdash; however, this means that you'll need to use
57    some other way to get back into Debian! For more information on this
58    please read <xref linkend="reactivating-win"/>.
