You can configure either to include the additional boot parametes.

In lilo, you would edit /etc/lilo.conf, and to the section that boots linux,
add the command "append ide2=0x9400,0x9002 ide3=0x8800,0x8402"
and then rerun /sbin/lilo to load the lilo.conf data to the mbr. The append
command causes its parameters to be passed to the kernel at boot time.

For grub, you would edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and find the command
line that loads linux. You should have a section that looks something like:

title linux
kernel (hda,0)/vmlinuz <parameters>
where the <parameters> part is where things to be passed to the kernel is
specified, and you can pass the same parameters as in the lilo append
command.

Good luck.
