Hi, Even if you're booting Linux via floppy, there's still a Lilo installed on that floppy disk. Plus I don't see what the problem is, thousands of users are running both, Windows and Linux on their computer and using Lilo without any trouble.
The file /etc/lilo.conf should exist either way but simply state, that lilo is going to be installed on a floppy disk rather than the MBR. Hence what I said still applies, you have to modify the /etc/lilo.conf file and update lilo on your floppy disk by running lilo.
