5 way boot


I've been messing arround with differant OS's and currently have 40 gb win xp pro, 40 gb (11 slack, 11 bsd, 11 ubuntu, 5 dsl, 2 swap), 40 gb ntfs data drive. the problem comes when idk how to set up bsd with lilo or even if it's possible, infact i don't know how to set up lilo at all, and slack won't boot with grub. so i had the slackware install make a boot floppy and i have to use it to boot slack. how do i fix this? I've got grub installed on hd0, and getting the /boot/grub/menu.list off hd1,2(ubuntu).

The "booting" link below (in my signature) might help.

One solution is to chainload your lilo using grub, check out this article.
