I don't know how I did it--basically followed the instructions for LILO 
until I got lost and things didn't work.. 

BUT, at some point I did something right and had LILO booting my machine 
to DOS or linux, and then typing "sco" would bring up SCO's boot prompt.  
I was very happy with it until the SCO partition corrupted.. for unknown 
reasons..
