But that doesn't really make sense. You can put
title First Linux
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2
title Second Linux
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1
in your /boot/grub/menu.lst, and not have to do anything when you
update kernels (provided a working kernel is always at /vmlinuz on
each of your installations). LILO doesn't need to be involved at
all.
