Works fine for most BIOS's:  ;)

sandalle@rover:~$ uname -a
Linux rover 2.4.19-grsec #1 SMP Sun Dec 15 21:23:54 PST 2002 i686 unknown
sandalle@rover:~$ gaze installed lilo
22.3.4

I believe people should have the option of using either LILO or GRUB (or
Yaboot for the PPC people, or SILO for Sparc, etc., though I think GRUB
works on all of these, not sure).
