LILO problems

Hi,

It seems that FAI writes an /etc/fstab which borks lilo package.

The problem is that
$ yes '' | apt-get install lilo
or
$ apt-get --assume-yes install lilo

will *not* work since lilo's setup (postinst) script is buggy.

lilo cannot be setup arbitrarily.

Either we should file a bug against lilo or have FAI not write an /etc/fstab 
while lilo package is being installed.

I had to write a kludge to fai:

    chroot $FAI_ROOT cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
    chroot $FAI_ROOT sh -c 'echo "# UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM" 
>/etc/fstab'

... install stuff

    chroot $FAI_ROOT cp /etc/fstab.bak /etc/fstab

which is rather crude.

Thanks,
