multiple distros in the same hard disk

["M K Saravanan" <mksarav@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

how to write lilo.conf to accomodate multiple distros on the same hard disk.  i have installed win-nt (/dev/hda1), mandrake (/boot on /dev/hda2) and redhat (/boot on /dev/hda3).

first i installed win-NT, then redhat and then mandrake.  now i ran lilo from mandrake to accomodate all the three os.  windows  and mandrake are booting perfectly from the LILO prompt. Now if i select redhat, it is booting with the mandrake kernel and mounting the / partion of redhat.  so i copied the redhat kernel image to the /boot partition of mandrake and added an "image" line to lilo.conf (as given below). if i select redhat now, it is showing 

"Loading redhat......" and hang.

 Now i want to boot with the redhat kernel if i select redhat.  how to do that.

Here is my lilo.conf
====================================
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
default=win
keytable=/boot/us.klt
lba32
prompt
message=/boot/message
other=/dev/hda1
        label=win
        table=/dev/hda
 
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.2.14-12rhl
        label=redhat
        root=/dev/hda5
        read-only
                         
image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label=mandrake
        root=/dev/hda11
        read-only
========================================

pl. help me.
