We'll use root=PARTUUID= with MBR disk signatures, which Linux supports
since version 3.8 (commit d33b98f).

Two things happened in the menu entries:
1. With the ProteanOS logo in the background image, we don't need
"ProteanOS 1.0" in the menu entry labels. This gives us back
characters that we can use to better describe the options, instead
of using obscure "~" and "+" symbols for "Old kernel" and
"Large font", respectively.
2. Two possible roots (sda1 and sdb1) are now hardcoded. They can be
selected at boot time. This obviates an install-time question about
what the root will be called on the running system. There are now
twice as many menu entries.

LILO tries to stat() the specified root device. If that fails, LILO
expects that the given root option is numeric. If something like
"/dev/sdb1" is given on a system with no "/dev/sdb1" device node, LILO
throws an error: "Fatal: Illegal 'root=' specification: /dev/sdb1".
This all happens in dev_number() in src/bsect.c.
