It seems lilo also have no support for such parameters.

append="video=9-pin DIN:1024x768...@60e"

does not work (kernel panic: DIN: bad variable name)

As I understand, I should pass somehow to kernel string like:

video="9-pin DIN:1024x768...@60e", but lilo uses doublequotes as
r-value bounds.

in_quote variable in next_arg() is set only for " character.
