Look at the Technical_Guide.ps documentation file in the lilo
distribution: it contains a lot of detail on exactly what gets loaded
where during boot.

Not really, no. The only impact is that the architecture-specific
parts of the MM's initialisation need to be aware of a few details of
the boot process. In particular, they need to know where any initrd
ramdisk has been loaded so that they don't try to reuse that memory
until the initial ramdisk has been freed. Apart from that, the MM
system really knows nothing about booting.
Cheers,
Stephen
