I've been reading this chain from the begining and now I think I have an
idea of the problem.
Is it that you cannot boot both systems? So only one is "bootable" at a
given time.
If that's the problem, the solution is simple.
In both linuxes make lilo install the boot sector in the partition
itself (/dev/hda1 for example instead of /dev/hda).
After that, in one of the distributions configure the boot loader to be
installed in the MBR, with the usual settings for that distribution and
configuring the other one as an other entry (as you would with a
non-linux operating system). This way you can chain both boot systems.
Hope it helps.
