If you use LILO, take 30 minutes and learn to use grub. You can edit the
boot time parameters at boot time. I recently switched my HDD from
/dev/hda to /dev/hde by attaching it to the on-board Promise controller.
I was glad to have grub as my boot loader. An additional advantage is
that you don't have to rerun grub every time you change your kernel.
grub can read your filesystem.
By the way, I am just a Debian desktop user, not a programmer.
