Im not an expert, but you're modifying the lilo boot sector located in
Linux's partition, not in the MBR of the disk. So some boot loader in
MBR is transfering access to your Linux partition, from which you can
only boot Linux. Maybe you should install LILO in the MBR, or modify the
boot loader installed on it.
