 This somewhat screwed =o( Using LILO one can boot different kernel and if
that other kernel is also using initrd then /boot/initrd points to wrong
file (it points to initrd that corresponds only to default kernel image). I
guess this might lead to various problem with booting other kernel than the
default one.
 Just came into my mind.....
