Not necessarily.
I have a 512 meg partition for dos, then a 100 meg swap partition, then a
1 gig dos partition, then a 1.5 gig root partition.
The secret is to:
1) use the linear option in lilo.conf (canna remember the syntax off hand)
2) let dos have primary partition 1 on disk 1
3) Make a linux zdisk and keep it up to date :)
Email me if you need more info.
