Will LILO work for part'less install?

[eXtremist]

Last night I installed RH7 doing a partion-less install. I plan on backing up some work data (and MP3s) before I completely format, so I did it this way just for now.

Anyways, when you do a partition-less install, RedHat does not install LiLO -- you have to use a boot disk to get into linux.. Is there any way I can get lilo working even though linux is not in it's own partition? The whole system is saved in 2 *.img files (one for file system, other for swap) so is it possible to specify to lilo to use these image files?

i don't believe so. the thing here is that lilo points to specific partitions, if you look in the lilo.conf file you see the setup and it has say dos and linux as the tewo boot options under dos it says look at hda1, under linux it would say hda2, which means hda(hard disk a) 1 (partition1) hda(hard disk a) 2(partition2) See?

That's what I thought.. I was just wondering if perhaps I could point it to /hda/linux.img or something.
