I just took my extra windows space and carved it out with the Deb install and started dual booting this weekend. I used FDISK after I got Deb up and running and made them both bootable and LILO seemed to take over and do it's job. One finger and 2 keys and I select which to boot. I'm guessing that you could run FDISK to cut a dos partition out and add the boot flag to it and boot Debian off a floppy after removing it's boot flag.. This is where I chicken out because I had a heck of a time getting a floppy to boot but I didnt have the full system so I would make sure I had a good boot floppy first.
