I would like to reserve a piece of High RAM memory for
DMA. The Linux 2.4 Drivers book show to appand
MEM=reserve_size to the lilo.conf file.
Would someone please let me know where this file is in
the kernel tree? I couldn't seem to locate it.
Thanks,

... and more importantly lilo is only one of many boot methods which is
ia32 (afaik) only. Argument passing is per-arch. On PPC32, you can set
CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y and then set a cmdline to use. If you're using
PPCBoot on your board, there's another way to do it, without recompiling
the kernel.
