I think LILO can only boot 16 images? - I'm multibooting 5 OS's at present.....the key with LILO is to make sure that all the relevant kernels are locally mounted each time you re-run /sbin/lilo.
One simple approach to multibooting say 7 or 8 operating systems is simply to have a series of Root partitions, each one corresponding to a different distribution and 1 Swap file shared bewteen them.
Distribution: Red Hat 9, Yellow Dog 3 (AKA Red Hat 8 for PPC)
