mbr and boot question

Hi!

Presently, I boot several partitions and several SCSI disks all from a 
single disk that uses Boot Magic (a chain loader).  I assume that Boot 
Magic resides in the MBR of the boot disk.  I then cut to windhose or 
LILO on other partitions and other disks.  My assumption is that LILO 
is installed in the boot sectors (not the MBR) of the "other" 
partitions/disks. 
Is it therefore possible that there is nothing at all in the MBR of the 
"other" disks?
(I ask because I want to experiment with an all LILO system starting 
with a different disk as the boot disk.)
Thanks in advance.
