No; you don't need to mount your Mandrake partitions in order to change 
the /etc/lilo.conf file on your Debian side. Since Debian is the last OS 
installed, I'm assuming that your current lilo is from Debian, not 
Mandrake, so it's the Debian lilo that needs to be modified.

So i treid to
mkdir /mandrake
mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /mandrake and then edit /etc/lilo.conf
but i get this error
demo:/# mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /mandrake
mount: fs type ext3 not supported by kernel
 

This means that the /dev/hda1 has an ext3 journal, but your Debian 
kernel doesn't have ext3 support. Try "modprobe ext3" to add that 
support to the Debian kernel (for this boot only; to make it permanent, 
add "ext3" to /etc/modules, or use modconf instead to add the ext3 module).

so i tried using tune2fs to convert to ext3
 

It's already ext3; you just need ext3 support in your kernel; you don't 
need to convert an ext3 fs to an ext3 fs.

i get this error
tune2fs -j /dev/hda1
tune2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
The filesystem already has a journal.
how do i mount and add to lilo

I iinstalled Mandrake 10 first  on the machine with /dev/hda1 as /
partition and then /dev/hda5 as swap .
It happened successfully.
Then i installed Debian on /dev/hda3 and mounted it as / partition.and
used /dev/hda5 as swap again.
But when i boot i get Debian only
I want to edit lilo to get both Mandrake and Debian in the bootloader
menu.
How can i get my Mandrake back ..I cannot boot Mandrake again.
     

Boot into Debian; edit /etc/lilo.conf.
