I eventually just decided to trust the floppy boot disk wouldn't go
bad (I have never found floppy disks to be that reliable) and just
tried it.
Fortunately, it worked fine. I'm not certain how lilo figures out
where /boot is when it's on a different partition than / (in the first
image, /boot is on /dev/hdc1 and / is on /dev/hdc2).
Here it is for anyone who is curious:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hdc2
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
label=linux-6.1-orig
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
read-only
root=/dev/hdc2
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14
label=rh52
root=/dev/hda3
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=win95
table=/dev/hda
