I've found that adding an append line with the exact amount reported
by the POST works on my TP600.  I have 192M.  The (RAM - 1) way would
give 191M or 191*1024=195584K.  The POST reports 196032K, so that's
448K which would have been wasted -- enough for 1/3 of an xterm or so
;-).

example lilo.conf:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/bzimage-2.2.11
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hda7
        append="mem=196032k"
        read-only
other=/dev/hda1
        label=win98
        table=/dev/hda
