Does anyone know if the Windows NT boot manager and LILO run in real
mode? I know GRUB kicks the system into protected mode, and I believe
that some lame BIOS makers are putting in legacy keyboard emulation code
that only works in real mode, not protected mode. If LILO and the NT
boot manager both run in real mode, that would seem to confirm my
suspicion.
