You won't have an image in /boot for windows. You need to chainload
the M$ boot loader. I have no idea how to actually make this work
with lilo (I tried a while ago, but gave up after many failures).
With grub it is quite trivial, however :
#############
title Windows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
boot
##########
title Debian
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 read-only apm=on
boot
HTH,
