Yes, that helps. You can mount this partition in both distros, just use
different names for the kernel images (though you should even be able to
use the same kernel image). You should know how to setup lilo properly (or
whichever boot loader you use).

Should contain something like

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-debian
	label=GNU debian
	root=/dev/hda2
	read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14
	label=old distro
	root=/dev/hda3
	read-only

but I'm not 100% sure.
