Description of problem:
I have installed RH7.2 and before version on my PC for several times with the 
same way. I mount /dev/hdc1 as root, and install lilo to /dev/hdc1 otherwise 
MBR, but when I have a fresh installation of RH7.3 It's not works, lilo can not 
install itself to /dev/hdc1, I try to intall grub to /dev/hdc1, it's fail again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install fresh RH7.3
2.mount /dev/hdc1 as root(/dev/hda1 is the first disk)
3.install lilo to /dev/hdc1 with no error report
	

Actual Results:  lilo can not be install to /dev/hdc1, I open disk with 
diskedit.exe in dos mode, I open the third disk's fat, 0 track 0 cylinder 1 
track, I can find out lilo not installed

Expected Results:  lilo should be installed here

Additional info:

I boot with startup disk, and login to system, and run lilo to install lilo 
again, it report some warning and an error.
