Just make sure you install the new distro's LILO inside the "/boot" or
root partition's boot sector, not in the master boot record of the hard
disk.  Then, set up the LILO of your Slack 13 disk to chainload the
other LILO, or use the method you use to boot Microsoft systems.  As
long as the Slack 13.37's LILO is inside a partition, it doesn't really
matter how you call upon it.

The LILO documentation should help you further on your way. ;-)
