This is pretty much what I wnated - only it won't work for me: my root
device is /dev/md0 and lilo barfs if run from that device:
Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0x0900 (i.e. /dev/md0)
Only solution I found was putting all the stuff needed by lilo into each of
the kernel partitions and running lilo chrooted to these partitions. The
problem I have with this setup is that I can't make kernel images from both
partitions visible in each of my lilo configs.
So if I somehow trash the kernel image(s) on my first disk I'll need to
boot from floppy or completely remove the first disk to get up and running
again.

looks like you're not running / off a raid disk.
