  <para os="a">You are nearly ready to boot to the new temporary system.
  One of the last things to do is to ensure that the system can be booted.
  The instructions below apply only to x86_64 machines on which Lilo is going
  to be installed. Information on using a pre-installed GRUB on machines
  currently running as x86 or x86_64 multilib should be available in the
  usual resource-specific locations for those architectures.  If you have
  installed an x86 version of Lilo, these instructions should be modified
  to refer to the <command>lilo</command> and <command>keytab-lilo.pl
  </command> commands you installed on the host system.</para>

  <para os="d">Earlier, we compiled and installed the Lilo boot loader software
  in preparation for this step. The procedure involves writing a boot image to
  a specific location on the hard drive. If you have a floppy disk drive, or
  if you have installed a CD recording program, we highly recommend using
  <command>mkrescue</command> to create a Lilo boot floppy, or CD (using e.g.
  <command>dvdrecord</command> from dvdrtools) as a test and as a backup.</para>
