You need to have a boot disk that gives you the LILO boot: prompt.  At that
prompt, type:

ramdisk aha152x=0x340,11,7,1

Then, when you get Linux installed, you will have to install LILO and
add the following line to the /etc/lilo.conf file:

APPEND='aha152x=0x340,11,7,1'

That should ge you up and running.
