I've never used the patched LILO, but I believe the only changes are that 
it recognises the 'root=/dev/nftla' device and sets the device number 
accordingly, and that it can deal with the fact that the M-Systems BIOS 
extension has eaten a huge chunk of sub-640K RAM. The latter may no longer 
be required with a newer LILO anyway, and the former can be worked around 
by using 'append="root=/dev/nftla"' instead of just 'root=', just as with 
other device names that LILO doesn't know about.
