Lilo and persistent naming

I've set up persistent naming as per the excellent wiki article as far as fstab is concerned anyway.  What I'd like to do now is get lilo using the same persistent names for booting.

The wiki article does give some clues for lilo - but I was wondering if anyone had an example of a lilo.conf that uses persistent names?

Re: Lilo and persistent naming

i have tried this as i use grub
but i would imagine it would look like this

#
# /etc/lilo.conf
#

boot=/dev/disk/by-label
# This line often fixes L40 errors on bootup
# disk=/dev/hda bios=0x80

default=Arch
timeout=100#
# /etc/lilo.conf
#

boot=/dev/disk/by-label
# This line often fixes L40 errors on bootup
# disk=/dev/hda bios=0x80

default=Arch
timeout=100
lba32
prompt

image=/boot/vmlinuz26
        label=Arch
    vga=788
        root=/dev/disk/by-label
        read-only

image=/boot/vmlinuz26
        label=ArchRescue
        root=/dev/disk/by-label
        read-only

lba32
prompt

image=/boot/vmlinuz26
        label=Arch
    vga=788
        root=/dev/disk/by-label
        read-only

image=/boot/vmlinuz26
        label=ArchRescue
        root=/dev/disk/by-label
        read-only

before trying this if you have a floppy drive write lilo to floppy & test it if it works write it to hard drive
