a twisted use of lilo

[Fredric Fredricson <fredric.fredriksson@example.com>]

A question for the lilo-gurus out there:
If I make to (almost) identical entries in 
lilo.conf that both starts the same kernel
would it be possible to tell which one was
chosen in a application program?

The reason for the question is:
I work with a linux project that automatically
launch an application after boot. The idea
I had was to have two options in lilo where
one automatically launches the application 
and the other does not (or launches another 
application).
