if you have lilo installed on hda and working, all you need tdo is edit the /etc/lilo.conf file to add in the other os's.  I have mount points defined for all my distro's in /mnt, so my lilo config looks like this: if you don;t have mount points set, you should be able to change the  /mnt/NAME to /dev/hd#  where the # is the device number the os is installed on.  For freedos, use whatever incantation worked in your old lilo conf file for the entries in here. This is just an example ,and one way to setup lilo. After you set the conf file up, just run lilo as root, if all is well youshould see a message added for eah of the os's and no errors. if you typo;d it will error out wihout writing the mbr.
