here's a sample from a triple boot, windows and 2 linux distros using
lilo as the boot manager:
# /etc/lilo.conf - sample from a slackware system, LILO on MBR
#
# hda1 windows FAT32
# hda2 linux swap
# hda3 linux native (slackware)
# hda4 extended
# hda5 linux native (debian)
#
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
vga=normal
default=slack
restricted
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22
label=slack
root=/dev/hda3
read-only
password=secret
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21
label=debian
root=/dev/hda5
read-only
password=secret
other=/dev/hda1
label=win
table=/dev/hda
password=secret
