Title:
  installer doesn't add initrd option in lilo.conf

Status in “lilo” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After installation of Ubuntu using netboot (ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer/amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz+mini.iso) image with lilo as boot loader and non-standard root partition (encrypted) system can not boot - it can not mount root device. Busybox is unavailable.
  Some googling and analysing of boot process have shown that initrd option is missing in lilo.conf so initrd.img can not be loaded, so init scripts can not be executed.
