It has. You simply need to use an option in lilo: "lba32", provided
that your bios supports it (only ancient ones don't).
My partition table:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1275 10241406 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2 1276 2550 10241437+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 2551 2566 128520 82 Linux swap
Linux root starts at 10MB (1276).
My lilo.conf:
boot = /dev/hda
timeout = 500
#prompt
default = linux
vga = normal
read-only
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
lba32
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = linux
append = "mem=256M reboot=w hdc=ide-scsi"
root = /dev/hda2
other = /dev/hda1
label = dos
alias=win98
table=/dev/hda
