No it is an upper case M nor a lower case m.
--------- From the man page
      -m map-file
              Use specified map file instead of the default.

       -M master-device [ mbr-file ]
              Install a Master Boot Record on the device specified as
master-device.  The  new  MBR  is
              copied  by  default from "mbr.b", which is built into
/sbin/lilo (version 22.3), unless a
              specific file is named as the second argument.  The
primary partition  table  on  master-
              device  is  undistrubed.   If  no  device serial number is
present, then generate one and
              write it to the MBR.
