It's dumb that an unrecognised option be a fatal error. Same problem with modules, actually. If you add a new module option to modules.conf and then go back to an older kernel your module won't load (here's where kaos pokes me with the rtfm stick).
You can create a second entry in lilo.conf which refers to the same kernel image, but which doesn't have the rootflags option.
