Thank's for your reply Mark!

I installed Lilo on the /boot partition and kept the Windows input just like 
usual (I also got Win 98 on hda1, then 2x ext2 /boot partitions and then 
Win2, then SuSE 7.0, then an extra ext2 for another Linux), and it works just 
the way yours does. I got so many warnings from some guys on the list not to 
put it on the MBR, it would make it impossible to boot into Win2, obviously 
your example proves they were wrong!

Cheers,

ei
