Lilo makes a backup of the mbr or whereever you are installing lilo *if* a 
backup doesn't already exist.

And the -u option in lilo simply re-writes this backup to whereever it 
originally copied it from.

But I think the method I suggested of zeroing out the first 446 bytes
should work because I think that must be what "fdisk /mbr" must be doing
too.
