I've done this a few times except I don't use lilo. Instead I use loadlin
(or linld for 2.4 kernels) to boot vmlinuz and point it to an initrd and/or
root file system. The necessary files all reside in the windows or dos
partition. If you want to look into this, there are details of the process in
a couple of my posts to this list (one of them quite recent).
