Grub & lilo dont interact, its either one or the other!

In /boot/grub/menu.lst add something like
____________________________________________
title linux
kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-21mdk-A root=/dev/hda5  vga=791
hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-floppy
initrd (hd0,4)/boot/initrd-2.2.17-21mdk-A.img
____________________________________________

Example is from my machine.  After doing this run "sh install.sh" to
write it out to the boot sector and it should work (I hope!)  Note that
you may need to rebuild the initrd image in some cases.
