Perhaps LILO is prefreed with the 2.0.8 version of systemconfigurator,
but one thing I found (through verbose logging) with 2.0.5 was that the
PREFERED variable was not being set AT ALL .  I had to add inline text
in the script (to follow their usage) to add that variable and others.

Our golden image client did not have LILO configured (GRUB only) , so
I had to configure it in rescue mode.  On the whole, not the kind of
process we expected, but perhaps good knowledge to have and share.

How are you specifying LILO, just in the SC config file?
If you get a golden client working w/ lilo, and pull its image,
systemconfigurator should try to run lilo.
LILO is already "preferred" over grub by SC, but LILO must already be
functional for SC to use it.
