The above means the kernel image is located on cyl 3409 the '>' means "which
is greater than" cyl, 1023.

I suggest you copy the Image to the same place as where you have the other
image, the successfull (Added linux *), just call it a different name, change
the entry in lilo.conf to reflect and rerun lilo.

This is all explained in the lilo documentation to be found on most systems
in the /usr/doc/* dirs'.
