Which leads back to this slackware user, who's never used an initrd,
thinking about dual root partitions just to get the name change from
another /etc/fstab?

I dual boot 2.4 / 2.6 kernels, looking for a simple solution so I can
test Alan's work.

No udev, no initrd, funny I see a second '/' partition as 'easy'? ;)

I'm missing something here? Generally /etc/lilo.conf looks like:
<http://bugsplatter.mine.nu/test/boxen/deltree/lilo.conf>
