I, too, am running a dual boot Win ME and Linux Red Hat 7.0 with 3 hard
drives and 8 partitions. The basic trick is to install lilo in the mbr
(master boot record), then when you boot up you'll get a redhat option
window where you select either dos or linux. If you don't select anything,
it'll boot to your default mode which is selected when installing lilo.

Just discussed this problem at a meeting of the NNHLUG.  Yu didn't mention
where you placed LILO.  When using two HDs you will need a linux boot partion
at he beginning of the primary drive.  I would sugegest using Partion Magic or
a similar utility to do this.  Hope that helps.
