ok, they will never work togther! you run lilo in one of them only!
lets say you choose to run lilo in mandrake, in mandrakes /etc/lilo.conf you have to add an entry for lunar ... IMPORTANT at the time lilo is run it has to find the lunar kernel on the lunar /boot partition or it wont read it at all
mount the lunar partition on /mnt/lunar in mandrake and alter the /etc/lilo.conf so its  
something like (note the ** where you need the correct partition eg hda2 for each distro)


image=/boot/vmlinuz
	label="mandrake"
	root=/dev/hd**
	initrd=/boot/initrd.img
	read-only

image=/mnt/lunar/boot/vmlinuz
	label="lunar"
	root=/dev/hd**
	initrd=/mnt/lunar/boot/initrd.img
	read-only


an new kernel created in lunar will need you to rerun lilo in mandrake
the common misconception is that lilo looks for the kernels at boot time, it doesnt they have been eritten in when you run lilo.conf

hope this helps, i used to have the same setup

Nice to see lunar till going along, ive been stuck on a 56K modem for awhile
