The easiest way to handle dual boots of linux is to create separate lilos
for each distro. Set one lilo write to the mbr and the other to write to
the start of it's own partition.
For example:
Set Debian's lilo to write to mbr. Set up lilo to boot redhat's root on
/dev/hda2.

mount the redhat / (or /boot if its a seperate partition) on
debian, copy the kernel to debian's /boot directory
edit /etc/lilo.conf and add an entry such as
image=/boot/vmlinuz-suse
label=suse

I used to have Grub to load RedHat, which has now been replaced with
Lilo in MBR. It boots Debian without any problems and now I don't know
how to boot back into RedHat. Mountin
