I have yet to find a way around installing grub, even if I decide to use lilo. Instead, when it gets to the bit about installing grub, you press the less than and Enter to go back. You might have to do that twice, but you should eventually get to the main menu. Then you select the option for the lilo bootloader and all should be fine, but you'll still be stuck with grub installed, just not configured.
