No, the lilo rpm is on CD1, the code that instantiates it is on the
ramdisk that got loaded from CD1. If it asks for CD1, that means that
something didn't get installed earlier in the install process, but at
this point, it's really too late to go back to CD's (that's why lots of
things are copied to a temporary cache directory during the install)
