Consider a lilo.conf stanza like

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-grml
        label="grml-hires"
	append="grml_from_hd noswap video=vesafb:1280x1024-8 at 60 "
	read-only
	vga=775
	initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-grml

How would you add a boot parameter for console rotation? (syntax please)

We'd prefer nvidia's native driver, if you can tell us the syntax for
that.  I'm not sure it's possible/supported/reasonable.  Maybe nvidia
drivers are strictly X11 so that the board firmware is all you get from
the vendor for console work.
