dx, I'll just reverse the order I'll answer your questions.

Easy. Just make a separate partitions for RHL and Debian. Be it
primary or logical whatever. Your call. Fortunately, you can
make them share the same swap partition. You can let the installer
programs of either distros do this for you upon install, or invoke
cfdisk or fdisk on either distro when you've installed either of
them first.

In your RHL partition, fix your /boot/grub/menu.lst so it can
alternately boot Debian. Then issue grub-install as root.

if lilo wiped out grub, boot to your debian partition, apt-get
--purge remove lilo, then apt-get install grub so you'll use
grub in Debian. Then issue grub-install as root, fix the
/boot/grub/menu.lst so it'll see Debian and RedHat. Then grub-install
again to load grub in the mbr. For more info, man grub. Note
that grub-install is not present with grub version 0.56 (the one
that comes with earlier potato releases). It's a bit harder story
with grub 0.56 on how to configure it compared to 0.9x.
