There are different 1.x - and the difference is exactly this -- location
of the superblock. In 1.0, superblock is located at the end, just like
with 0.90, and lilo works just fine with it. It gets confused somehow
(however I don't see how really, because it uses bmap() to get a list
of physical blocks for the files it wants to access - those should be
in absolute numbers, regardless of the superblock locaction) when the
superblock is at the beginning (v 1.1 or 1.2).
