Jonathan....you can only have one append line per boot image.
The line is placed where it should be by default and if there
is nothing to append than it looks like this:
append = ""
you can then add, in between the ""'s, any appends needed for
your setup, multiple appends are seperated by a space. See
below:
boot = /dev/hda
timeout = 50
prompt
message = /boot/message
default = linux
vga = normal
read-only
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
keytable=/boot/us.klt
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = linux
append = "hdc=ide-scsi mem=164M"
root = /dev/hda5
other = /dev/fd0
label = floppy
unsafe
