Thank you H. Peter. I just checked it and the new version doesn't work 
"out of the box". It says...
syntax error at keytab-lilo line 4, near "eval "
Execution of keytab-lilo aborted due to compilation errors.

Furthermore, after correcting lines 3 and 4 (which are responsible of 
the above error), keyboard maps can't be found (by loadkeys utility) 
because of an added bad extension (.map instead of .kmap).


Attached is a patch I wrote in order to make it fully work (apply it 
against the version of keytab-lilo which is now in the git tree).


I know you are not the author of this script, but I don't know how to 
contact the authors of LILO (their official website 
<http://lilo.go.dyndns.org/> is in 404 state).
