Steve.  Attached below is a copy of my lilo.conf note the top lines and
you will get what you want however this only works with serial
synthesizers as you are aware of.

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
serial=0,9600N8
boot = /dev/hda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 300
# Normal VGA console
vga = normal
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz
  append="speakup_ser=0"
  root = /dev/hda2
  label = Linux
  read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz.orig
  append="speakup_ser=0"
  root = /dev/hda2
  label = Orig
  read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
