As you have grub already installed don't install lilo. Just as Bijan
said they both fulfill the same purpose.

Boot Debian and mount the rh partition (if not automagically mounted)
or boot rh.
Go to rh's rh-mountpoint/boot/grub or rh-mountpoint/boot/boot/grub
(depending on your partitioning scheme) and edit the menu.lst.
Just duplicate the rh-section of it, adjust the title, root and kernel
options, and you are done.
At the next reboot you should see winxp+rh9+debian in the grub menu...
See
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-bootgrub
and
http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub/html_node/index.html
for an entry to further information.
HTH,
