I've found the best way is use a separate partition for the kernel and grub (I'd steer clear of lilo if I were you, grub is so much better -- if you've ever used openboot on a sun box, grub is more like this than lilo). You can then boot from which ever partition you like without having to worry about which parition is bootable. But I don't run windows :-)
