Here is a discussion dual booting red hat and Debian:

For lilo.conf, I think you need something like:
lba32
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hdb2
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
vga=normal
default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=LinuxOLD
read-only
optional
other=/dev/hda2
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.8
label=RedHat
root=/dev/hda2
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-20.8.img
append="root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi"
read-only
If you are want to use the Debian grub package, /boot/grub/menu.lst
should have lines in it like:
default=0
timeout=10
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-20.8)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-20.8.img
savedefault
boot
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img
savedefault
boot
title Debian Stable (2.4.18-11)
root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.20 ro hdc=ide-scsi
savedefault
boot
If you decide to use Debian's grub package, set up information is in
/usr/share/doc/grub/README.Debian.gz.
