tripple boot - LILO problem
 
I have Red Hat 9.0 and Windows 98SE dual booting on a PC. Grub is my boot loader and it works perfectly. I want to put a second Linux distro on the PC, Red Hat 7.3. I have installed it several times, writing the LILO boot loader to /dev/hda (the Windows boot partition, where GRUB is located) and /dev/hda6 (the boot partition for the 7.3 install).

fdisk -l returns this:

/dev/hda1 * 1 1020 #######+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 .......... ......... #######+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 ........ ......... ####### 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 ........ ........ ####### f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 ........ ......... ####### 82 Linux Swap
/dev/hda6 ......... ........... ####### 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 ........ ......... ####### 82 Linux Swap
/dev/hda8 ........ ......... ####### 83 Linux

grub.conf looks like this:

title Red Hat Linux (#)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title Windows 98SE
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title Red Hat Linux (#)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-3.img

I do not understand why LILO does not overwrite GRUB on the install. The 7.3 install is on the extended partition, could this be the problem? Can anyone explain to me or point me in the direction to get this set up?

TIA
