Lost DOC2000 after installation of Grub

When I use root=(dc0,0) :

Error 23:  Erro parsing number.

But my root is not on the flash.  My root is /dev/ram7.  I have an initrd that loads data from fla1 into ram7.  Initrd temrinates then the kernel mounts /dev/ram7 as it root.

Lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/nftla
compact
#install=/boot/doc.b
map=/boot/map
disk=/dev/nftla
bios=0x80
prompt
delay = 50
timeout = 50
serial=0,9600n8

image = /boot/kernel
        label = outpost
        root = /dev/ram7
        initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
        read-only
        ramdisk=32768
        append="console=ttyS0,9600"

image = /boot/rtl8139.net
        label = net

I'm not concerned about serial console access.  How can I get the system up so I can try nftl_format?  Will I ever be able to use DFORMAT again?

Thanks,
Chris Fowler
