You can use the 'append=' directive in the lilo conf file (which is inline in buildit.s for tomsrtbt), here is a sample line from a lilo configuration: append = "reboot=cold parport=0x378,7 idebus=66 ide0=dma ide1=dma hda=autotune hdc=autotune" But, that line is from a 2.4.x kernel- maybe 2.2.x had difference, I forget. -Tom
