I don't really think you have to. With 'lba32' enabled (maybe also without that ... ) and just using lilo normally it works with devfs.

ps: lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/discs/disc0/disc lba32 ... image = /boot/244nospeak root = /dev/root label = nospeak append = "LOC=HOME"
flapp:~/bootdisk # lilo -V LILO version 21.6
