   linear   Generate linear sector addresses instead of
            sector/head/cylinder addresses.  Linear addresses
            are translated at run time and do not depend on
            disk geometry.  Note that boot disks may not be
            portable if `linear' is used, because the BIOS
            service to determine the disk geometry does not
            work reliably for floppy disks.  When using
            `linear' with large disks, /sbin/lilo may generate
            references to inaccessible disk areas, because 3D
            sector addresses are not known before boot time.

The option is "linear".  That's it.
