   I'll confess. I'm certain almost always my incorrect use of lilo,   
   as it was in this case.   
      
   I have, however, had the boot sector wiped when an ssd was the   
   boot drive and some program I was developing crashed. Lilo   
   was not the cause of the boot sector damage in those cases.

   I pretty much use grub on most of the machines I use now.
