lilo append lines are equivalent to putting the command line options in
yourself. Just boot linux apm=on if you want.

Most likely the problem is the it's getting the wrong root directory.
specify root= whatever it should be. It's not too likely the /sbin/init
disappeared, unless something really bad happened. init=/bin/bash is
another thing that can work, but no init= line will help until the kernel
find the correct root filesystem.
