I am a newbie also. In fact I have yet to get a full linux/debian
system up and going. I have installed from disk, CD atleast a "million
times" but I am still working on it.
As far as the lilo bootmanager goes, A virtual "debian expert" gave me a
copy of an older liloconfig that works very slick. You can set the
default boot or can select from a menu. At start up, when the lilo
message comes up, press the right tab or caps locks (don't remember
which) and you can load which ever system you want. Even I can get it
going. Hope it helps!

CAN'T INSTALL LILO
LILO could not be installed. If you have not created a LILO
configuration file by defining a new header and adding at least
one bootable partition to it, you must do so before installing
LILO. If you were attempting to use an existing LILO configuration
file, it could not be found. Try making a new one.
