I've just installed Slackware Pro and configure LILO to have DOS boot as 
default and Linux with ALT, CTRL, or SHIFT (I thought) pressed on startup 
and I chose to have LILO installed into MBR. But I failed, everytime DOS 
is chosen as the OS to boot.

Linux can be boot from floppy without problem.

Could someone explain why and what the difference between installing LILO 
into MBR or SUPERBLOCK is?

I have 1 GIG hd with /dev/hda1 for primary partition of DOS (C:\>) 
/dev/hda2 for extended partition of DOS  ( hda4 for D:\> & hda5 for E:\> ).

/dev/hda3 is Linux native starting from cylinder 1018 to cylinder 1424, 
so I presume there is nothing wrong with boundary problem (>1024). 

BTW, Linux fdisk reports different physical and logical ending of /dev/hda3
 phys (1023, 15, 63) logical (1423,15,63)

and more reports of differences if I have more Linux partitions after 
/dev/hda3, does this matter? or I can simple ignore it.

For your reference, DOS fdisk reports as follow

Disk 1 504 Megs 100% usage	C: 330 Mb
				D: 120 Mb
				E:  50 Mb
			
while non-dos partition is using the rest of my 1 Gig HD.



Many thanks !
