It does not really make any differance which system installed lilo, the 
secret is mounting all your disks/partitions where "lilo" can reach them all 
in one go, you can define any partition "in use or not" as long as it is 
mounted.

An example;
dos = hda1
redhat = hda5
mandrake = hdc1
slackware = hdd1

You boot with mandrake, you then create some extra dirs'

mkdir /hda5
mkdir /hdc1
mkdir /hdd1

mount -t ext2 /dev/hda5 /hda5
mount -t ext2 /dev/hdd1 /hdd1

Edit /etc/lilo and reflect the above

image = image-redhat
label = redhat
root = /hda5/boot/image-redhat
read-only

same idea for slack.

run lilo with -t to check that all is ok, when all is ok /sbin/lilo
reboot

Another way is to copy all bootable images into one /boot dir and edit 
lilo.conf accordingly.
