1. Install package LILO
sudo apt-get install lilo
2. Run liloconfig
sudo liloconfig
....if you get an error message, edit /etc/fstab file. Replace UUID and use traditional /dev/sdxy
3. Important: answer NO to the question about install a master boot record on /dev/sda
4. Install LILO to an USB
sudo fdisk -l
....see the media. If USB is sdb, so..
sudo lilo -b /dev/sdb
If you want to install LILO to a floppy
sudo lilo -b /dev/fd0
PS. A floppy must be formatted
sudo fdformat /dev/fd0
sudo mkfs.msdos -c /dev/fd0
