If I install another copy of SuSE on a spare partition (hda10) of a PC with 
SuSE on it (hda6) already, how do I add SuSE to lilo.conf so that I can boot 
it from the bootscreen?  I've already tried setting the root to /dev/hda6, 
but that seems to founder when it can't find the relevant initrd.
This is what I have so I can boot 8.1 or 7.2 (very stable )

image = /boot/vmlinuz
    label = linux
    root = /dev/hda2
    vga = normal
    initrd = /boot/initrd
    append = "hdc=ide-scsi"

image = /boot/vmlinuz.shipped
    label = failsafe
    root = /dev/hda2
    vga = normal
    initrd = /boot/initrd.shipped
    append = "ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off  hdc=ide-scsi"
    optional

image = /boot/vmlinuz-suse72    
    label = SuSE72
    root = /dev/hdb3 
    vga = normal
    initrd = /boot/initrd.suse72
    append = "hdc=ide-scsi"
