just many ways to skinn the cat...
.... while booted on say /dev/hda1...( deb )
	put all your "kernels" in /boot of the distro you wanna run lilo
	from

	if you want to always run lilo from slackware...
	than all the other kernels is in /boot of slackware...
	or a mounted dir as you've done with /mnt/xxx/boot/other_kernel

		( but why run lilo from any distro... lot more lilo'ing to
		( copy around

vi /etc/lilo.conf
   ( if you dont want to mount the other distro before liloing )
   ( where the kernels was copied from the other distro

   boot=/dev/hda
   ...
   image=/boot/vmlinux-2.2.20
     root=/dev/hda1
     label=Debian
     ...

   # copy the kernel over from slackware that was compiled on hdb1
   image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17
     root=/dev/hdb1
     label=slackware
     ...

   # copy the kernel over from redhat that was compiled on hdc1
   image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10
     root=/dev/hdc1
     label=redhat
     ...
   #
   # if you wanted windoze... on C:
   # other=/dev/hda1
   #  table=/dev/hda 
   #  label=windoze
   #
