You can normalize the image name by prefixing with something like "vmlinuz-"
and the run liloconfig that updates lilo.conf with the images found.
If you, for instance, call the image "vmlinuz-poweroff", liloconfig will
add the following:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-poweroff
label=poweroff
read-only
You can take a look at the get_images function on /usr/sbin/liloconfig
(line 248 in the current version).
You can, obviously, customize this script.
