So what is wrong with having two separate boot directories? Your lilo
conf would look similar to:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=linux-new
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-14
label=linux-new
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.17-14.img
read-only
root=/dev/hdc1
image=/old/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36
label=linux-old
initrd=/old/boot/initrd-2.0.36.img
read-only
root=/dev/hdb1
And you mount /dev/hdb1 as /old (for the new system).
Similar, you can make a lilo.conf for the old system where /dev/hdc1
(root of the new system) mounted as /new....
