grub & dual boot with 2 hd



Hello,

I have a machine that is a dual boot Win2k/Debian Unstable box.  There
are two hardrives.  Windows is on the first drive, Debian is on the
second.

The hd layout is as follows:

/---- /dev/hda -----
| Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-14649.960 megabytes
| Disk label type: msdos
| Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
| 1          0.031  14637.348  primary   ntfs        boot
\__

/---- /dev/hdb ------
| Disk geometry for /dev/hdb: 0.000-14649.960 megabytes
| Disk label type: msdos
| Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
| 2          0.031    972.685  primary   ext2        boot
| 3        972.686  14519.685  extended              
| 5        972.716   8605.129  logical   ext2        
| 6       8605.160  10511.279  logical   ext2        
| 7      10511.310  14519.685  logical   ext2        
| 1      14519.685  14645.192  primary   linux-swap
\__

/---- Mount points for /dev/hdb ----

I want to go from booting with Lilo to Grub.  I am not sure, but
doesn't lilo have to be installed in the mbr of /dev/hda in order to
boot both Win2k and Linux (in the above configuration)?  Can anyone
outline the steps I need to take in order to install grub correctly?
