That was the problem lilo would not see the other /boot partitions,
it only sees the /boot of the OS it was installed. I tried to find a way
to get around it but, no luck. Had to mount my hdb drive in /mnt and
add an entry in the /etc/fstab, and "mount -a" . Then edited my lilo.conf
like below.
image=/mnt/mdk9.1//boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-0.27mdk
       label="9.1mdk2421-27"
       root=/dev/hdb1
       read-only
       optional
       vga=791
       append=" devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht splash=silent"
       initrd=/mnt/mdk9.1//boot/initrd-2.4.21-0.27mdk.img
Well all works now. I just won't make the mistake of running lilo
on hdb again ;-)
