It's just LILO for x86, nothing fancy. You could as well just download
LILO, build it for x86 and then use it to install the bootloader onto
the harddisk/CF medium you are using on the LANDISK.

Source code for LILO can be found here: https://lilo.alioth.debian.org/

It's a simple bootloader which works with blocklists.
