it's worth emphasizing what's really happening in this lilo.conf file.
the kernel you refer to in the "image" directive must be accessible
(that is, mounted) when you run the "lilo" command.
thus, if you're in the red hat partition, one option is to create
a mount point called /suse, mount the suse /boot partition there,
then the image line would read
image=/suse/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-0.16
or whatever.
the other option is to literally copy the suse kernel into
the red hat /boot directory, then you don't have to do the
mounting business.
your call.
