I think that's the last thing in the kernel boot sequence before it
calls init. Do you have an initrd kernel? (The stock Debian kernels
are, so if you copied /boot/config.* from a preexisting Debian kernel
you probably do.) If so, did you build an initrd, and give a pointer
to it in your lilo.conf file?
