I think the RedHat installer did not install the boot-block into his own
boot or root partition, but into the MBR. And then, you installed
Debian's boot-block into MBR. What you could do is following:
mount /dev/hda2 /mnt
chroot /mnt
mount /boot
start your editor, edit /etc/lilo.conf. Locate the boot= line and change
it to boot=/dev/hda1. Then run /sbin/lilo. Then leave the chroot shell
("exit"), edit your Debian's lilo.conf and add:
other=/dev/hda1
label=Redhat
save it, quit, run lilo on Debian.
Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
