I agree, how can something like a missing option be a hardware error?
It's a hardware detection error and I guess more steps are needed in
that hardware detection in order for lilo.conf to be complete.

Maybe there should be three modes for LILO (or bootloader in general)
installation: "Novice" mode should rely solely on autodection,
"Intermediate" should allow turning some options off or on in a checkbox
list (like aforementioned "prompt", "compact", "large-memory" etc) with
a short explanation what does each option do, while "Expert" should
allow manual editing of lilo.conf that will be deployed.

PS: I can't believe this error (re)surfaced after one year and (almost)
five months...
