Huh? I have several machines that boot with LILO and the root is on
RAID1. All install LILO to the boot sector of the mdX device (having
"boot=/dev/mdX" in lilo.conf), while the MBR is installed by
install-mbr. Since install-mbr has its own prompt that is displayed
before LILO's prompt on boot, I can be pretty sure that LILO did not
write anything to the MBR...
the behaviour is documented in lilo man page, for the
raid-extra-boot option.
