What I usually do is mount the other /root and /boot partitions
(ie /mnt/storm/boot and /mnt/storm/root when I've got mandrake
running) and make lilo.conf point to those. Lilo dosn't care about the
labels, what it wants is to be able to find the files in question so it
can figure out a geometry to get to them when it's trying to boot.
