The latest version does (using the lba32 option). I've currently got
Win2000 on the first 8gig of a disk, and RH6.2 on the last 4gig (LILO
lives on the MBR and is able to boot either OS).
Getting it on was awkward, you have to create a boot floppy so you can
boot up the default RH6.2 install, then grab the latest LILO rpm from
RH contrib. Once installed, you can then put LILO on the MBR and boot
to either OS without the floppy.
