I guess you want something simple, like this:
root=/dev/hda2
partition=2
default=Linux
read-only
timeout=100
append=" video=atyfb:off"
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=Linux
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
The first parameter, "root", specifies the device that should be mounted as
root. It's no different from ix86, I guess. The "partition" parameter is the
number of the partition that is implied in the /some/thing paths later in
the file.
After you edit, run silo to check the configuration.
