Hello Oleg,

you can use mbookpack to build a "multiboot package" für lilo:

   http://freshmeat.net/projects/mbootpack/

Grub doesn't work, because it is not able to "understand" the GPT. So I'm
treated to use lilo (for a dual boot system mit Mac OS X).


I have found this manual for an Intel-iMac (in japanese ...you can use the
Google translation service)

http://webleverage.jp/xen/wiki/index.php?Intel%20Mac%2FXen


Here is my lilo.conf:
--------------------------------------------------------------
image=/boot/xen-3.0.2+vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen
        label="xen"
        append="dom0_mem=512M noreboot -- root=/dev/sda3 ro"
--------------------------------------------------------------

But the parameter 'noreboot' doesn't work :((

What am I doing wrong ... Can I use 'noreboot' only with grub?
