virtio: kvm-62, lilo cannot be installed into virtio device

[Tomas Rusnak <linker@korex.sk>]

Hello

I test virtio block device. I can boot from vda as root partition, but 
if I want to install lilo into boot sector, lilo give me this error:

Fatal: Linux experimental device 0x04x needs to be defined.
Check 'man lilo.conf' under 'disk=' and 'max-partitions='

I boot it like this:

kvm -boot c -drive file=basic-virtio.qcow2,if=virtio,boot=on -m 512 -vnc 
:0 -net nic,model=virtio,vlan=0,macaddr=00:00:10:52:37:48 -net 
tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0,script=no -daemonize -localtime

basic-virtio.qcow is with lilo in boot sector installed, because is 
image what I use before virtio testing. But with each boot I must 
manually add root=/dev/vda2 if I want to boot it.

Host: Gentoo, kernel with gentoo patchset 2.6.24-r3
Guest: Gentoo, kernel vanilla 2.6.25-rc3
KVM: 62
qemu: 0.9.1

Thank you for your job.
