Take a /etc/lilo.conf like that:

# LILO Konfigurations-Datei
# Start LILO global Section
append="auto"
boot=/dev/hda
#compact       # faster, but won't work on all systems.
linear
read-only
prompt
timeout=100
vga = normal    # force sane state
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
#
#       ^^^^^^^^^ Martin, where is Your kernel?

root = /dev/hdb1

#           ^^^^^ Martin, where sits your debian ?
#
label = linux
# Linux bootable partition config ends
#
# DOS bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1

#            ^^^^^^ Martin, what is your Primary Dos Partition?
#
#
label = Win95
table = /dev/hda
# DOS bootable partition config ends
#

Try that.

You have to put the correct values for your partitions of that so called OS
from Redmont and for your debian.
Where is your kernel located? 
put that in the line
image=
i suppose either
image =/vmlinuz
or
image=/boot/vmlinuz

then run lilo as root. that should work
