Thanks to all who sent me suggestions! I used the append = "mem=120M"
command to get more out of it. The full 128 crashed, but I saw another
thread that discussed the "sharing" of video memory with the main, so i
tried lowering it until I got it to boot.
Thanks again!
Drew

You might want to read the bootprompt HOWTO. But the short answer is to
add append="mem=128M" to your lilo.conf file, run lilo, and reboot. This
is one of the few cases where you have to reboot for the change to take
effect. Here is what my entry looks like, to give you a better idea.
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda9
append="mem=128M"
