Hi:
Try adding the following line into /etc/lilo.conf:
append="mem=96M"
Run "lilo" as root so that the change would take effect.
Mine looks like this:
boot=/dev/sda
... blah-blah-blah ...
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34
label=linux
root=/dev/sda1
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.34
append="mem=128M"
read-only
I think you can also specify it at the lilo prompt like this:
LILO boot: linux mem=96M
Hope it helps,
Peter.
