I don't have a hard disk install, but I think it is located at

/etc/lilo.conf

You will need root "superuser" authority to edit this file.

You can either open up an xterminal and type:

sudo nano lilo.conf

or you could start "Emelfm as Super user" and double-click on the /etc/lilo.conf file.

You will need to re-run lilo after making your changes:

sudo lilo -v

Dallas, this is from the gentoo handbook:
Activate DMA:    
Code Sample
hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda

I haven't tried it yet, I'm just getting back to my DSL project after installing Suse on my desktop. I'm Winless!

Man this thread frustrates me... it gets me so close, but doesn't make it clear what exactly to type in the lilo.conf append line.  Do I type "dsl dma" or that hdparam command and where exactly, neither of them seem to be formated similar to anything else in the append quotes

vga=normal

default=Knoppix

image=/vmlinuz
       append="lang=de apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi vga=791 quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix"
       root=/dev/hda5
       label=Knoppix
       read-write

The hdparm line is for the command line once booted.

You add "dma" to the append line - if it is there it runs it, so it doesn't need an =
Basically append=" " is what you would normally type after boot:dsl
So any or all of the options in the F2 screen/file go into the append=" " line
