1.
/ on /dev/md0
/boot on /dev/hda1

lilo.conf is correct, but the installation fails. One can install lilo from the chroot on the second console and finish the installation as if there were no boot loader. Reboot OK.

2.
/ on /dev/md0
/boot on /dev/md1

The options presented by the lilo instaler are wrong, lilo.conf is wrong.
(/dev/md1 suplied instead of /dev/hda) Lilo installation fails. It is
possible to rectify the situation in chroot on the second console again.

Looks like the sarge installer lack some necessary code.
