Lilo

Hello

Can I use LILO bootloader on my embedded device without any modification?

If your embedded device implements the PC BIOS, it should work. I haven't read the sources, but I'm pretty sure it depends on the BIOS to load it, read and write the disk, and probably to read/write from console (vga/keyboard).

Hope that helps,
chris
