             TypeError: bad argument --lba32: unknown option

             install exited abnormally 

Expected Results:  include the lba32 option in the lilo.conf file

Additional info:

In /usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py, the option parsing code is:

                     (args, extra) = isys.getopt(args, '',
                             [ 'append=', 'location=', 'useLilo',
'--lba32',
                               'password=', 'md5pass=', 'linear',
'nolinear'])

             I'm not a python programmer, but It seems very suspicious that
lba32 is the
             only
             option with "--".  I tried using the command:

             bootloader --useLilo --linear ----lba32 --location=mbr

             and that did not crash, but neither did it add the
             lba32 option to the lilo.conf file
