should this be 'boot=dev/hdc'?

initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.16-[whatever_your_architecture]
or
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
# where initrd.img is symlink to /boot/initrd.img-2.4.16-[arch]
& if you want to use devfs mounted on /dev add:
append="devfs=mount"
If you are using stock debian kernel-image package, you need to add
initrd line to lilo.conf. If you compile you own kernel image, you
don't need to use initrd.
