Bug#218741: Improve lilo-installer prompting, please don't use devfs



Package: lilo-installer
Severity: normal

Please avoid to using devfs for prompting the user.

According to comment in kernel:

devfs is experimental in 2.4.x

devfs is obsolete in 2.5 - 2.6.*-preX

Moreover it's difficult to a 'normal' user to understand what 
ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc means, I could imagine that 
a newbie will be lost, and as a consequence have an unusable 
system.

Cheers,
Pierre Machard
