Nope, according to the man page of lilo.conf;

       append=string
              Appends the options specified to the parameter line
              passed to the kernel.  This is  typically  used  to
              specify   parameters  of  hardware  that  can't  be
              entirely auto-detected or for which probing may  be
              dangerous. Example:

              append = "hd=64,32,202"
