As for Lilo.conf, if you want to add anything to that if you are using LiLo bootloader, add a stanza that looks like

#Stanza for Mandrake on /dev/hda7
image = /boot/vmlinuz #location of the kernel
lable = Mandrake #Name of the OS
root = /dev/hda7 #Location of the boot partition

after you edit your lilo.conf file run

/sbin/lilo

in the command line.

Remember to do this only if you are using the LiLo Bootloader, and not GrUB.
