03/20/04 version of new installer with Lilo?

[Hugo Vanwoerkom]

Hi Debian!

I tried sarge's #1 CD with the new installer, version of 03/20/2004.

With bootparm "linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium" you can select which 
bootloader you want, but...  selecting "lilo" results in him still 
insisting to install grub. For which I filed bug #239494.

When you use the installer w/o bootparm then he installs grub and that 
system boots, but I have trouble running base-config with apt-config 
using just loopmounted iso's. I will file a bug for that. After I try it 
a few more times.

I am hesitant to use grub because then I have to change the other 6 
partitions to grub also, in order to be able to select them at boot-time.

Also when I ran lilo on the new system I get a kernel-panic:
Unable to mount root fs on 03:41
making me think that that system should run lilo with initrd, which I 
never do with the other systems.

Any thoughts on that? And what exactly does "03:41" mean?

Hugo.
