Well why not use grub, it is more modern and perhaps better?
and eb-5.2.5-etherboot-pci.zlilo, which has all the drivers for the supported 
romomatic NICs therein.
(so you can use different NIC's without disturbing the boot config)
Not bad value for 74Kb.

add something similar to this in /boot/grub/menu.lst
title LTSP
root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/eb-5.2.5-etherboot-pci.zlilo
# not tried this
title Windows 
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
boot

then you can check it out on the commandline (without rebooting)
grub> root (hd1,1)
 Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83
grub> kernel eb-5.2.5-etherboot-pci.zlilo
Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist
grub> kernel /boot/eb-5.2.5-etherboot-pci.zlilo
[Linux-zImage, setup=0x800, size=0x126c3]

And as an added bonus grub can use md5 hashed passwords rather than lilo's plaintext.

I suggest you install all the operating systems you want on the hard disk,
configure lilo as your boot manager, and then go to rom-o-matic.net and
get an lzlilo image for your NIC.

Add that in as another boot option to lilo.

I have a page at http://www.wizzy.org.za/article/articlestatic/14/1/2/
that might also help you.

Cheers,  Andy!
