Huh?  What does mounting filesystems have to do with anything?
LILO loads the kernel using static disk mappings, unlike BSD.
Sure, you need the FS mounted when you reconfig LILO, but that's
about it.

I usually go so far as to waste a partition ID on an 8 MB or so
/boot slice at the front of the disk.  Easy way to prevent BIOS
stupidity with cylinders beyond 1023.
