I use the following to boot debian from hda and windows from hdb:
/etc/lilo.conf
lba32
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=200
default=2.4.17
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17c
label=2.4.17
root=/dev/hda7
read-only
other=/dev/hdb1
label=win
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
table=/dev/hdb
