I just set up Lilo on my machine with two IDE drives.

Here's my /etc/lilo/config:

BOOT=/dev/hda
COMPACT
PROMPT
FIX-TABLE
VERBOSE=0
TIMEOUT=20

IMAGE=/zImage <------- this is Linux on Drive one (boot by default)
  LABEL=Linux
  VGA=NORMAL
  READ-ONLY

OTHER=/dev/hdb1 <-------- this is MS-BARF on Drive two
  LABEL=MS-DOS
  LOADER=any_d.b
  TABLE=/dev/hdb

-A
