No.  The 'root=' argument is passed to the kernel during boot.  LILO 
does not understand filesystems, and therefore does not care what you 
specify as the 'root='.  The kernel image specified in the lilo.conf 
with 'image=' must be readable by when LILO is run to write the boot 
sector at the exact location specified by the 'image=' argument.
