Perhaps I'm confused. Shouldn't OpenBIOS be able implement the functionality
of LILO? I thought that LILO existed because BIOS16 are incapable of loading
anything that isn't DOS-like. Doesn't LILO look to the BIOS like DOS? In 
other words, when a BIOS is loading LILO, doesn't it "think" it's loading
DOS?

That sounds right. So why have a new LILO? Why not just not need LILO 
anymore?
