This should be fixable with some additional information. Looks like you need a new 'stanza' for the 9.0 install.
What is the name of the drive 9.0 is installed on (e.g. hdb)? What are the partitions for /boot and / on that drive (e.g. /dev/hdb1 = /boot, etc.)? What is the name of the boot image on the 9.0 boot partition? (e.g. vmlinuz)? With that info a number of us should be able to help you edit the lilo.conf file so that you can access your 9.0 installation.
