I installed the 0914 lorax iso-image (from HD), and the installer put a line with "label" and nothing else in lilo.conf (which lilo doesn't like, thus not generating a correct MBR). The installer also spelled "ohter" - I believed it had entered the lilo.conf-file, but it just showed up in the visual output from the install program.
These should all be fixed in our current devel sources.
