I actually thought the warning was great and it worked perfectly for
me. I just had to 'man lilo.conf' to figure out where that line went
(being completely new to initrd). Perhaps text suggesting that I add
the initrd section to the 'vmlinuz' image section would have helped,
but it's easy enough to RTFM.
