No problem. Used to do that to upgrade from one slackware
version to the next (reinstalling from scratch on another
partition). Haven't done that to upgrade Debian!

Something like (Note I use SCSI, so `sd' instead of `hd', and remove
my `append' line):
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/sda
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
delay = 50
vga = normal # force sane state
ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting
append="hdc=634,64,32 mem=128M aic7xxx=tag_info:{{24,24}}"
# End LILO global section
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /zImage-2.0.37-PD2.0.32-idle
root = /dev/sdb1
label = 2.0.37-full
read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
image = /zImage-2.0.37
root = /dev/sda1
label = newdisk
read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# DOS bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/sda2
label = win95
table = /dev/sda
# DOS bootable partition config ends
Note: The kernel name could probably be the same, and to simplify
running lilo, the name(s) you use should exist on both
partitions you want to boot from (as lilo checks that the
kernel exists even it you specified another patition).
