Maybe if you read the reply you would see that he did address
loadlin as well as lilo.
The /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/BootPrompt-HOWTO.txt.gz doesn't
say it is required, but you might try adding append = mem=128m to your
loadlin command line. You might have to make it append = "mem=128m",
I'm not sure. If it doesn't work then, read the HOWTO mentioned above.
