Be careful. I have found that the install disks are very happy to create
systems that cannot be booted because lilo does not know about lvm.
On this topic, what is needed to make lvm work for both / and /boot with
full lilo support? I think it somewhat limits the utility of lvm not to
be able to make a fully lvm system, and might be tempted to do some of
the heavy lifting if it is not too gruesome.
