"Bombs out"? Can you show us the full error message? It can probably be
fixed.
(A known-broken version of lilo somehow made it into testing recently,
and it will overwrite your existing /etc/lilo.conf. It might be a good
idea to manually download the lilo package from unstable and install
that by hand with 'dpkg -i'.)
