Not fstab, lilo.conf . You PROBABLY don't need to do this, though -- the "64
meg" bug is supposed to have been fixed around kernel 2.0.34 or so.
So, first try just installing the RAM, booting the system, and seeing (with
"free" or "top") if the system recognized it. It probably will.
If it doesn't, only then add to the appropriate section of /etc/lilo.conf
the line
append="mem=96M"
and re-run lilo.
Note that compared to your sample, mine has no space after the = -- this
matters. I don't recall if M versus m matters, but I know that M works.
