Just to clarify that would be -
append="mem=256M" but..

The kernel or bios or whatever takes up part of the first part of the
memory.  So if you add the full amount of RAM to your /etc/lilo.conf the
kernel will freak out.  Back off a MB.  For example I have 128 MB of RAM
and my lilo.conf line reads -
append="mem=127M"
