you can install a /etc/kernel-img.conf file to begin with, but if your
talking about the kernel-image package itself then no.  

manoj's answer to these situtations is the user, or the package owning
the bootloader should install an appropriate /etc/kernel-img.conf.

i don't see how this is possible, i removed lilo from my x86 boxes
awhile ago when i installed grub, as soon as i did all the boot floppy
and lilo questions in kernel-image installation went away.  they
install quietly now no questions asked (this is packages build with
potato's kernel-package, i took no other action to disable these questions).  

so you must have somehow installed the lilo package on your apus for
this to happen, or else kernel-package has become severely
braindamaged recently.  

since lilo is arch: i386 short of unpacking it manually i don't see
how you installed it.
