Subjectlilo and system maps?


I'm messing around on one of my dev machines which has 4 possible
kernels installed. 2.4, 2.4-stable, 2.6, 2.6-stable (stable is the last
known good kernel). I currently have my System.map files laid out as:

/boot/System.map-2.6.0-test11-bk2
/boot/System.map-2.6.0-test10-bk4
etc.

Would it be possible, necessary, sane to have a lilo.conf similar to
this:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4
label=current
map=System.map-2.4
read-only

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.stable
label=stable
map=System.map-2.4.stable
read-only
optional

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6
label=2.6
map=System.map-2.6
read-only
optional

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.stable
label=2.6-stable
map=System.map-2.6.stable
read-only
optional


This way when I install a new kernel I can copy the System.map to
/boot/System.map-2.6 instead of keeping up with all the version numbers?
lilo doesn't seem to like the map= arguements. Does the kernel need the
System.map in a single place, can it figure out where it's at for a
multiple config?
