Using the v0.8.5 tar ball method,  I am trying to install the distro
on a 256MB CF (/dev/sdb) and have chosen the Lilo boot loader.

Everything goes fine until the boot loader installation.

Lilo fails to install.   I get the following output on the console

<terminal display>
.............

perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
Updating /etc/hosts
Installing lilo

Running lilo ....
Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed
Unrecognized token "0.8" at or above line 14 in file '/etc/lilo.install.conf'
Fatal Error: Failure during chroot to  to run lilo

What would you like to do?
  1 - Specify Distribution Directory
  2 - Select Target Profile
  3 - Select Target Disk
  4 - Select Target Bootstrap Loader
  5 - Configure Target Console
  6 - Partition and Create Filesystem
      (default=8 [Exit]):

</terminal display>

I have tried it earlier with v0.9.0rc1 and it failed there too and
posted my result
Reference: <http://list.voyage.hk/pipermail/voyage-linux/2012-October/015372.html>

Considering that v0.9.0 is a release candidate, I figured I might have
better luck with v0.8.5 (a released product).

I would like to hear from folks who have had a successful installation
with lilo as the boot loader.   Please share the voyage linux version
number.

Thanks,
