If you want to boot Linux from floppy then you don't need lilo. I have
Debian linux and boot into that by virtue of putting the boot floppy in when
I turn the PC on. Otherwise it just boots Windows as usual.

It was a long time ago that I installed it but I believe it was an option on
the install that I boot from floppy.
