    Just tried it, works, as expected:
    - comment out root=... in /etc/lilo.conf
    - pick one of your bzImages you don't like, e.g. /bzImage.junk
    - rdev /bzImage.junk /dev/hdb6 # pick some partition you don't have
    - /sbin/lilo
    - reboot
    - select bzImage.junk and you should get a nice kernel panic
    because it can't mount hdb6

    rdev is architecture-specific. At least one non-i386 architecture (ARM)
    has an equivalent concept of a parameter block (at least in 2.2), so an
    rdev equivalent could be implemented there (maybe it is), although the
    field offsets are different. Don't know about other architectures.
