You can pass args at the lilo prompt:

        LILO: linux dtc3181e=0x2c0,0

Note the equal sign (not plus) between the keyword and values.
Refer to the BootPrompt HOWTO and the LILO mini-HOWTO.

You can also put args into the lilo.conf with an `append` statement:

        append=" dtc3181e=0x2c0,0"

Note the space- that ensures anything you type in @boot time
doesn't run together, resulting in an invalid arg.

Don't forget, when you change lilo.conf, you must rerun lilo!

If you're loading modules, you can also put the parms in
/etc/modules.conf with the `options` statement:

        alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
        options aha152x aha152x=0x340,12,7,1

HTH!
