Detecting more than 16Meg's on a Compaq ?

[OLH@kms.min.dk]

Hi!

I can't seem to make my Compaq recognize more than the first 16 MB. I have
read the boot prompt-HOWTO, where it says, that
I shall type type 'mem=XX'. Easy, except it boots up before I can type
that.
So, I looked a little on LILO, to try and find something about a startup
delay, or telling LILO about all 128 MB, but can't find anything there
either.

What to do ???
Can anyonepoint me in the right direction
