I see you have not read the Lilo documentation either.  Here is how I 
use the append in my lilo.conf.  I followed the documentation.

Image   = /boot/kernel-2.4.9
        label   = Woody-249
        Root    = /dev/hda10
        VGA     = 0x31A
        append  = "hdd=cdrom lp=parport0 parport=0x378,none video=vesa"

Image = /boot/memtest86
        Label = Memtest

#       Win95  Why waste the disk space??
#
#Other = /dev/hda1
#       Label   = win
#       Table   = /dev/hda

  Please 'do not' send copies to me.  I read this list daily and do
not need additional copies.
