I assume, that your stuff boots from /dev/hda3
Change your /etc/lilo.conf on /dev/hda3 to:

# /etc/lilo.conf
lba32
boot=/dev/hda3
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
vga=normal
append="apm=on"
default=PotatoOLD
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19pre17-alb1
        label=linux1
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda3                  # Add this here
image=/vmlinuz.old
        label=PotatoOLD
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda3                  # Add this here
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19pre17-alb1
        label=Woody
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda1                  # Add this here

I have on my Lapto following Systems:

/dev/hda1       WfW 3.11 + OpenWatcom
/dev/hda2       Dos 6.22 + DJGPP
/dev/hda3       Win95 + OpenWatcom

/dev/hda5       SLINK
/dev/hda6       POTATO
/dev/hda7       WOODY

/dev/hda8       swap
/dev/hda9       /tmp
/dev/hda10      /home
/dev/hda11      /shared

LILO is a very powerful Bootloader and it works every time...

I hope this Helps
