Most certainly, the "F" is for floppy boot, the "4" is for booting from /dev/hda4, and the "A" is for showing all bootable partitions on /dev/hda. The only drawback to this prompt is that you are strictly limited to /dev/hda--no booting off /dev/hdb at all. It was in the docs the last time I checked (I was running bo at the time), AFAIK the "F4A" type lilo is a Debian-only degenerate, usually implying that you pressed shift too early in the process in 2.x distributions.
