-M master-device [mbr|ext]
Install a Master Boot Record on the device specified as master-device, selecting the Standard or Extended Master Boot Loader per the option.
The primary partition table on master-device is undisturbed. If no valid Volume-ID (serial number) is present, then generate one and write
it to the MBR. If mbr is specified, the Standard Master Boot Loader will search partitions 1-4 for an active flag, and boot the flagged
partition. Only one active flag is allowed. If ext is specified, the search for an active partition will include extended partitions as
well. The presence of the Extended Master Boot Loader on the Master Boot Record (MBR = sector 0) of a disk affects the operation of the -A
option.
-b bootdev
Specify the boot device; i.e., where the boot loader will be installed. "-b /dev/hda" specifies the Master Boot Record; "-b /dev/sdb5"
specifies the first extended partition on the second SCSI disk.
-C config-file
lilo Specify an alternate pathname for the configuration file. This option overrides the use of the default configuration file,
/etc/lilo.conf.
