more or less, there are a few things you often need in quik.conf that
do not apply to lilo.conf:

1) partition=  this should be the partition number of the root
filesystem, not always required but it often helps.  

2) image= should point to the real kernel image file, and not a
symlink, quik should work ok with symlinks but i have have found that
it does not always work with them (indirect experience).  

the point is quik could very well be outputting a simple and clear
error message that your not seeing because OF does not display
anything to the screen.  most oldworlds need the output-device
variable changed to display to the screen, if they support it at all.
otherwise a serial terminal is needed.
