[SLE] booting 3 OS with lilo



Hi all,

Just bought a new scsi disk.
I have Win installed on sda, Suse 7 on sdb and would like to install RH7 on sdc
My partitions on sdb for SuSE are :
sdb1 /webdownloads 3GB
sdb2 /boot 23MB
sdb3 /swap 258MB
sdb4 Etended
sdb5 /
sdb6 /usr
sdb7 /var
sdb8 /opt
sdb9 /tmp
sdb10 /home

My questions are :

1.How do I partition my 3rd disk ?
2.Do I still need a boot and swap partition in disk 3 ?
3.Must I skip the lilo installation on the mbr when installing RH7 which will
probably override the SuSE one
4.Will RH7 destroy system.map, map and initrd in my /boot ( sdb2 ) ?

Thanks for any help

Filip.
