It's not so picky. I have Win XP and Debian on the same hard drive.
Here's my lilo.conf:
lba32
boot=/dev/hda
vga=normal
default=Linux
message=/boot/bootmess.txt
prompt
single-key
delay=100
timeout=100
image=/boot/2.4.21-netfilter
alias=1
label=Linux
read-only
append="idebus=66"
root=/dev/hda2
other=/dev/hda3
alias=2
label=Windows
