This may not be the answer you're looking for but I would recommend
using grub instead of LILO. I was reluctant to learn another boot
loader but having switched some time ago, I've found it much easier for
handling multi-boot systems.
There was a rather good 'Grub in Debian HOWTO' by Dan McCombs but the
link doesn't seem to work any more. However there are a few HOWTOs
around.
After you've installed grub (which will automatically remove LILO) run:
grub-install /dev/hd* being the disk on which you want grub to boot from
-normally /dev/hda
then:
update grub
It should find your OSs and kernels and away you go.
You then have the additional advantage of being able to boot your system
from a grub floppy or rescue (such as DFS) is the MBR gets screwed.
