LILO
From Mandrivausers Wiki
LILO (LInux LOader) is a boot loader for Linux developed by John Coffman.
LILO does not depend on a specific file system, and can boot an operating system (e.g., Linux kernel images) from floppy disks and hard disks. One of up to sixteen different images can be selected at boot time. Various parameters, such as the root device, can be set independently for each kernel. LILO can be placed either in the master boot record (MBR) or the boot sector of a partition. In the latter case something else must be placed in the MBR to load LILO.
LILO is the default bootloader for Mandriva Linux and by default it is installed into the MBR. While LILO was once the de-facto bootloader for Linux distributions in the early years of Linux, it has lately lost some of its popularity to the GRUB bootloader.
