       This script looks for the boot block device or boot partition and create the right diskid or uuid as boot
       option. Then it looks for all root partitions and create the right uuids as root options.

       These conversions are necessary for use with newer kernel (>= 2.6.26) if it use the libata module for
       parallel and serial ATA interfaces of block devices (i. e. hard disks with IDE or SATA interface,
       usbsticks).

       Lines in the configuration file /etc/lilo.conf:

         #boot = /dev/sda
         boot = /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SV1604N_S01FJ10X999999

         #root = /dev/sda1
         root = "UUID=18843936-00f9-4df0-a373-000d05a5dd44"
