Could you please post the contents of the install log, found on the newly 
installed machine in:  /root/scripts/install_log

Looking quickly at the scripts, it should prompt for a yes/no response to 
installing lilo. Any answer other than 'yes' or 'y' will cause the 
scripts to skip the lilo installation.

However, the lilo.conf file is still written to disk. Once you boot, as 
root, you should be able to run lilo manually.
Try 'lilo -v -C /etc/lilo.conf'
