[ltp] mem= and lilo.conf

Hi all,

I'm running Mandrake Linux 6.5 (essentially RH 6.0)
on a thinkpad 600. I have 228M of memory installed.
I can see the RAM if I manually type "linux mem=227M"
at the boot prompt. All the docs I have read say that
you can enter an "append" command in the lilo.conf
file so the RAM can be seen automatically. Unfortunately,
none of these docs (or books) give an example.
I have tried several permutations without success.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

Here's my lilo.conf (last change)

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.13-7mdk
	label=linux
	root=/dev/hda1
	read-only
	append="mem=227M"
