Not to jump Olly, but I believe there's a clarification to be made.
Each "title" section in grub's menu.lst, or each "label" section in
lilo's lilo.conf, can have it's own and different 'append=' line. So
while there could be many 'append=' lines in the conf file, there should
only be one per section (title / label).
For example, in the excerpt from my lilo.conf below, there's 4
'append=' lines, but only one per section. The line for my 'failsafe'
is one statement, but with multiple items in it. I believe that's the
source of Salman's confusion.
