I have the same setup, with win98 on primary and slackware on slave. What
I do is have the following configuration for lilo:

boot = /dev/fd0
lba32
compact
vga = 771
image = /boot/vmlinuz
  root = /dev/hdb1
  label = 2.4.26
  append="hdc=ide-scsi"
  read-only

In this way, with the diskette is in the drive, it goes directly into
linux, and with the diskette out, it goes directly into win98.
