Just to make sure I understand, this means booting where I type "Linux
nolapic" at the boot prompt and if it all works I add a line to
/etc/lilo.conf so that it looks like this:

    image=/vmlinuz
	    label=Linux
	    read-only
    #       restricted
    #       alias=1

	    initrd=/initrd.img
	    append = "nolapic"
