ok, i'm doing this from memory and i'm on a NT box ( damned military ) but shouldn't
it just be something along the lines of

label = redhat
image = /vmlinuz
  root = /dev/hd(w/e rh is ) 
  blah 
read-only blah blah blah

label=slackware
image = /vmlinuz
  root = /dev/hd( w/e slack is)
  blah blah blah
read only

ad naseum etc....then just rerun lilo and it might work?
