Loading 2 LinuxOS with LILO

[homega@vlc.servicom.es]

Hi,

I'm trying to boot two Linux OS's with lilo, but with no success so far. 
I've gone through all lilo docs and mini-howtos (which are mainly devoted to
Linux + other OS's), and tried several different configurations for
/etc/lilo.conf
Here are some details:

A primary master IDE HDD of ~1.2GB partitioned as follows:
Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 620 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1            1        1      305   614848+   6  DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/hda2   *      306      306      588   570528   83  Linux native
/dev/hda3          589      589      620    64512   82  Linux swap

A secondary master UDMA HDD of ~4.3GB as follows:
Disk /dev/hdc: 15 heads, 63 sectors, 8894 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 945 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdc1            1        1     6936  3277228+   5  Extended
/dev/hdc2         6144     6937     7214   131355   82  Linux swap
/dev/hdc5   *        1        1      109    51439+  83  Linux native
/dev/hdc6          110      110     1193   512158+  83  Linux native
/dev/hdc7         1024     1194     1627   205033+  83  Linux native
/dev/hdc8         1024     1628     2278   307566   83  Linux native
/dev/hdc9         2048     2279     3362   512158+  83  Linux native
/dev/hdc10        3072     3363     5530  1024348+  83  Linux native
/dev/hdc11        5120     5531     6614   512158+  83  Linux native
/dev/hdc12        6144     6615     6936   152113+  83  Linux native

/dev/hda2 is where the Debian 2.0 root partition is installed, as well as
lilo;  /dev/hdc5 is where Slackware 3.5 root partition is installed.  The
other Linux native partitions are directories both SOs are sharing (/home,
/usr/local, /tmp, ...) or will be sharing (/usr/doc).

The only successful attempt for a /etc/lilo.conf file has been:

boot=/dev/hda2
root=/dev/hda2
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
prompt
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
label=debian
read-only

image=/vmlinuz
label=slack
root=/dev/hdc5

other=/dev/hda1
label=win
table=/dev/hda

`LILO: slack' starts the Slackware OS but loads the Debian kernel image. 
Note that whereas /vmlinuz in Debian is a symlink to /boot/vmlinuz-2.x.x, in
Slackware /vmlinuz is the kernel image itself.

I also tried to make a symlink of Slack's kernel image:
/svmlinuz -> /vmlinuz

image=/svmlinuz

but it doesn't work, simply because lilo doesn't look in /dev/hdc5 for the
image.  Also thought of copying /dev/hdc5/vmlinuz to /dev/hda2/svmlinuz... a
bit patchy though, and not very orthodox.

Could anyone help me with this, please?

TIA
