>From linux/arch/i386/kernel/smp.c:

 * Command-line option of "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0" will disable SMP
 *      activation entirely (the MPS table probe still happens, though).

I haven't tried it, but it sounds like adding "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"
to your LILO line will do it (i.e. LILO: your-kernel nosmp)
