Here's how to have lilo boot RedHat or Caldera
with each system remaining totally ignorant of the other.
The boot=  lines and the loader=  lines are critical.
Change 'hdaX' to the partition containing Caldera's /boot directory.

#This is /etc/lilo.conf ON RED HAT PARTITION
boot = /dev/hda
# SNIPPED OUT global parameters
# SNIPPED OUT SECTIONS FOR RedHat and DOS, etc.
other=/dev/hdaX
  label = caldera
  loader=/boot/chain.b
#end of file




#This is /etc/lilo.conf ON CALDERA PARTITION
boot=/dev/hdaX
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
image=/boot/vmlinuz-whatever
        label=caldera
        root=/dev/hda7
        read-only
#end of file
