Lilo on Floppy

I have been duel booting XP & LE 2005.

 

I have:

XP on hda1 - 60GB

LE 2005 on hda2 - 40GB

Fat32 20GB hda3 for shared access between the two OS.

 

For reasons I don't need to get into I will be Reinstalling both XP and LE 2005.

 

I install XP first on hda1, then LE 2005 on hda2. When installing LE 2005 it comes to the section of installing the Lilo bootloader. It gives various options, one of those being to install to a floppy.

 

I assume that if I take this option and have the floppy in the drive at bootup it will give me the same screen as when it is installed to MBR. If I dont have the floppy in I also assume that my pc will boot dirrectly into XP.

 

Do I have that correct?
