No problem with lilo, but if you like grub:
-format a floppy
-cd /floppy
-mkdir /doc
-mkdir /grub
-mkdir /pict
cp ...... stage1 /floppy/grub/
cp ...... stage2 /floppy/grub/
create and edit a file menu.lst as follows:
splashimage (fd0)/boot/grub/images/linuxinside.xpm.gz
# Boot automatically after 30 secs.
timeout 30
# By default, boot the first entry.
default 0
# Fallback to the second entry.
fallback 1
# For booting Debian Linux
title Debian 2.6.8
root (hd0,1) # = /boot -> /dev/hda2
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386 root=/dev/hda5 # '/' device
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386
title Debian 2.6.10
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1-686 root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/initrd.img-2.6.10-1-686
(adjust vmlinuz and initrd... and where your /boot/vmlinuz... is,
here first hd second oartition)
Save this file to /floppy/grub/
Adapt also your splashimage if necessary.
