What if you built the system you want on a loopback device, LILO and all. Then burn the image to a CD. I could see how this might confuse LILO, it not knowing where to bootstrap the kernel from. A couple of questions that may be important. Does LILO store the boot info as an absolute address on a disk or relative to itself? Does it even matter if you did this all inside a file with loopback; i.e. would LILO just get it right for the file and carry it over to the CD when you burnt the image?
