This is very weird, because I have in my lilo.conf (LILO 21.4-4) a line
like that without any spaces, and it works! Also, as far as I know your
conclusion about this having to be in the non-kernel-specific section is
wrong too, because lilo.conf(5) says that:

       Additionally,  the kernel configuration parameters append,
       ramdisk, read-only, read-write, root and vga can be set in
       the  global  options section. They are used as defaults if
       they aren't specified in the configuration sections of the
       respective kernel images.

If this is incorrect, than the maintainers of lilo should be made aware
of that.

If I had to guess (I seem to do this a lot on this list lately), I'd say
that simply running "lilo" is what solved your problem, not any of the
cosmetic changes you made to /etc/lilo.conf...
