I do believe it already has one...isn't that what "unsafe" is for?

description: 
LILO will refuse to process a lilo.conf file if it contains an "other" entry
pointing to a partition which does not at that moment have a valid boot sector.

This is annoying if you have partitions around for purposes of installing
cooker.  If an install fails after formatting the partition but before
installing the bootloader, you're screwed if you have to rerun LILO for any
reason (like a new version of the isolinux files) unless you comment the entry out.

LILO needs a "mind your own business and do as you're told" option.
