Edit '/boot/grub/menu.lst'.  In the section you use for startup,
there'll be a line that looks something like:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2

You should be able to simply add the kernel parameter to the end
of this line, like this:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 devfs=nomount

If you want to try this out before making the change, you can just
hit 'e' at the boot menu, while over your startup option - you can
then make non-persistent changes to your grub startup config.
(You can also type grub commands directly - read 'info grub' for
the skinny.)  Or, you could set up multiple menu entry sections
with different kernel params, of course.

Grub is MUCH, MUCH better than Lilo.
