This is the catch... I've used the debian disk images (1.44) many times to 
install on
many different machines.   I've downloaded and created these images a few times 
and
used different methods of cration (rawrite and dd).  They do everything great 
for me
_except_ alter the MBR.  I think that lilo ususally gets only to the second L 
after
using them (LIL-)  and crashes.  In the rare occasion that I used a install 
disk for
this purpose I would mount the partition execute a shell, and type 
"/target/sbin/lilo
-C /target/etc/lilo.conf"
