Lilo
should also learn how to boot a kernel fom a striped volume...I don't think you fully appreciate the request you're making here. Commercial Unices such as HP-UX and Solaris can not boot from striped volumes for about the same reasons why it would be difficult to have LILO read from a striped volume: the implications are just too horrendous to comtemplate.
At least the IBM people with the AIX LVM are able to make that work. The
only thing that they were not able for a long time is to make system dumps work in such a configuration. But I believe that even that works under AIX 4.3.x now.

Actually, with AIX, they reserve at least one PP (PE) at the very beigining of each disk, which gives you at least a 4 meg contiguous area in which to put the kernel. The bosboot copies the kernel into this area. Really not to different that creating a /boot or a /stand.
