No worries. You can either enter it at the LILO prompt initially when your
computer boots, or if you want to test it out, you can edit
/etc/lilo.conf, and add:
append="mem=128m"
Save the file, and then run:
lilo -v
and then reboot. Of course, when you have tested it, etc, ensure to remove
the line to /etc/lilo.conf, and re-run: lilo -v. I would advise however
that my first suggestion of entering it in at the lILO prompt is easier.
If you're using GRUB, I cannot help you.
