there used to be a reason for excluding lilo from the rescue: the binary was using boot.b on the *installed* system, not the rescue system. This caused pb when the version of lilo and boot.b mistmatched. This is fixed in latest lilo which works as expected when using "lilo -r ...". So lilo may re-appear on the rescue (though anyway, if you don't have a good lilo.conf, things are bad for you ; and having a good lilo.conf often implies having lilo installed...)
