[olug] multiple OS's On 2 disks

[Chad S. Lauritsen]

if you have the appropriate root=/dev/hdxx for rh and suse, do you also
have appropriate image=/boot/name-of-kernel-image for each distribution.
I don't know if they would necessarily be different, but I would guess
there's a good chance they are. Make sure you know what the image
filename is for each before you re-run lilo.
