   Yes, when trying to find which drives there are in a system, it is easier   
   to do:   
      
   fdisk -l   
      
   or   
      
   cat /proc/partitions   
      
   With that computer and nvme drive you might have to boot using UEFI and   
   maybe also use a GPT partition table instead of the good old MBR DOS-   
   stype partition tables. If so, you will need to say goodbye to lilo and   
   use some other boot loader like elilo, grub or syslinux/extlinux. Among   
   these bootloaders, I did choose extlinux myself as its configuration did   
   resemble isolinux and pxelinux which I had used before to boot from cdrom   
   or network.
