How to use persistent names in LILO?

I have two SATA drives, but their names /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are chosen randomly by Linux. How can I correctly set up LILO? How can I put a stable reference to the hard drives in lilo.conf? **ADDED.** Can I use udev's names (like /dev/disk/by-id/*) in lilo.conf? LILO doesn't read lilo.conf at each boot, but only once on setup MBR when I run 'lilo' without arguments. At this stage udev names are available. But how do LILO store information about disks to MBR and boot-files? I use dual-boot with Windows, but NTFS disks have no UUID. I want to use udev's id.
