Section:
7.6 You forgot to run LILO, or system doesn't boot at all
You might want to update the following line:
"Using LILO with big drives (more than 1024 cylinders) can cause problems.
See the LILO mini-HOWTO or documentation for help on that."
This isn't true anymore unless your using an older version of LILO.

For a large number of BIOSes out there it is still true

Is this still true if you use the lba32 option in lilo.conf?

lba32 requires bios support - which is common, and working bios support which
is slightly less common on older boxes
