lilo, moving boot disk

[rockwell@pa.msu.edu]

This is one of those questions that is sometimes hard to find the answer 
to - usually documentation cleary says what a product _can_ do, but not 
what it _can't_.

Anyways, it true that there is no way to use lilo to setup booting on a 
harddisk that you are going to move to different location?  e.g. if I'm 
installing a system on a new disk attached at /dev/hdb, but I want to be 
able to boot this disk as /dev/hda (after moving disk to a new 
machine...).  My understanding is that, I have to install the disk as 
/dev/hda and then boot a recovery system from floppy or CDROM and run lilo.

Thanks,
