Hi!
Sorry for the hasty changes. I am still trying to understand the right
processes and well, it would be very kind if someone could give me (or
point me to) a step-by-step guide on how to deal with template changes.

It is a question for people who wants to manually point LILO to the boot
device. lilo-installer should prompt for the correct boot devices by
itself on the screen before.
But even if I know what "/dev/hda" is, without an example, I might be
tempted to use GRUB syntax "(hd0)" or just "hda" (without using the
the full path). IMHO, this worth having an example.

Maybe this was not the good thing to do either, but "${PORT_SPEED}" is
replaced by the content of the "lilo-installer/port-speed" template
_only_ in the case where the speed of the serial port was specified on
the command-line.
The previous template resulted in ${SPEED} being empty if no speed was
specified on the installer command-line, which was an issue introduced
in lilo-installer/1.22.

This note has been introduced has a fix for #191588. I don't have a
precise opinion on its usefulness though.
