Just add an "append" to your lilo.conf(don't forget to rerun
 _lilo_ itself), f.e.:

 image = /zImage.fd2048
  root = /dev/sda2
  append = "mem=512M" # - total amount of memory You have.
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  label = fd2048raid
  read-only

[...]# lilo :-)
Consider, kernel doesn't make a test on how much REALLY memory You
have. If You'll have less memory than pointed by "append" - You're in
troubles(a kernel is such a panicing guy ... :-)
Have fun.
