(An hour of compile time later):

[...]
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
mount() -> -14
VFS: Cannot open root device "302" or 03:02
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:02

I'm writing this on the exact same partition setup with 2.4.18-pre7-ac2 so there's nothing wrong with how lilo handles the boot process.
