Yes, lilo has overcome the 1024 limit.
When i installed it on my 20G hard disk.. the lilo
which was written by default by the installation was
not proper and it suggested me to edit the lilo.conf
to include the line "lba32" and remove "linear"... and
everything was working fine with that correction made.
I guess lba32 is some mode to support bigger hard
disks.. this is just my guess!!
