Ask in biz.sco.general, there's a way to patch the "/dos" executable
to boot other operating systems, but I don't have the note handy. I
*think* you patch the byte which is the OS id (see fdisk 'l'
command) to the "Linux native" code 0x83. I'm cross posting this
answer to that group in hopes someone will answer.

I'd rather use LILO, but I haven't had a chance to do any tests.
