A, ok, i had the impression that that is exactly what is needed,
the initrd.txt of the linux kernel Documentation gives this lilo entry
for example :

  image = /bzImage
      initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
      append = "root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc rw"

I tried adding the init=/linuxrc entry, but to not much avail.
