Ive gotten it to work on an old 486, but it required installing the overlay,
then resizing it (pqmagic), then creating a new partition w/ linux and
install it to that one, then lilo will load the boot manager (Least I think
thats how I did it). But at any rate I did get it to work, but it was quite
a PITA.
