Here's my lilo.conf file:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
lba32
# vga=normal
# delay=20
image=/boot/linux
        label=shadow
        root=/dev/sda1
        read-only

# image=/boot/test
#       label=X
#       root=/dev/sda1
#       read-only

image=/boot/backup
        label=Backup
        root=/dev/sda1
        read-only

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

other=/dev/sdb1
        label=solaris
        table=/dev/sdb
        map-drive=0x80
           to = 0x81
        map-drive=0x81
           to = 0x80


I made a boot floppy for linux. After installing Solaris, use the boot
floppy to boot back into linux and rerun lilo.

HTH.
