lilo configuration problem

Hi,
I have 2 hard  disks, ide primary disk and scsi disk 0
I already have sco unixware 7 on ide hard drive.
Install slackware 3.6 on scsi drive.
I try to install lilo boot the following file from  /etc/lilo.conf
shown:
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
                boot = /dev/hda    ; master boot record
                delay =600
                vga    = normal
                 prompt
                 image = /vmlinuz
                 root = /dev/sda1          ; scsi drive 0 where
slackware installed
                 label = linux

                other = /dev/hda4
                label   = sco
                table    = /dev/hda
#------------------------------------
when I run lilo , it's shown
linux
sco
which It seems ok.

When I reboot , the system prompt and I enter:
linux
Yes, I worked. But I when I enter:
 sco
No. It comes up with sco logo and try to boot the system and it shown
some kind of the messages that it can not mount root.

It's weird also, before I installed SCO, I can boot linux from the
CDROM.
But After installed SCO UNIXWARE 7, I can't boot from the cdrom any
more. So, I have to use boot disk. ( any idea why it does it.?)
The question is how to setup lilo.conf to have boot both SCO and Linux .

Another issue is on Linux, it sees solaris filesytems as SWAP ( code 82
).

Any Idea?
Thanks in advance.
