Oh, I see what you're saying.  Well, the Linux kernel generally does it's own
overriding.  For example, if the kernel command line contains conflicting options,
such as "ro" and "rw", the last one supplied takes precedence.  There are some
exceptions.  For example, if the "console" parameter is specified twice, both
consoles are used.  But, strictly speaking, you're right.  LILO appends options
supplied on the command line to options specified in the "append" configuration
file statement, it does not replace them.

If you do the installation in expert mode, you can skip the step to install a
boot loader.  But that's in interactive mode.  I've never done an automated
installation, so I don't know what can and cannot be done in that environment.
