but I did this to be able to boot my fedora from lilo (advised by a friend of 
mine) ; I created in "/root"-Mandrake a directory called fedora in which I 
dumped linked file to my GRUB-Fedora then in my LILO I added the following 
entry :

I was expecting something more straight forward as you suggest but that does 
not work !

you  run the lilo command or when you try to boot using this entry?

this should work. What version of lilo are you using?
If I run lilo after adding this entry I get the following error message : 
[root at azun dmoyne]# lilo
Added linux
Added 2.6.3-devfs
Added 2.4.25-devfs
Added 2.6.8.1-udev *
Fatal: First sector of /dev/hdb1 doesn't have a valid boot signature

I will try and report back to you

yes I had the wrong spelling !
