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.
