It isn't quite the same thing but I use the OS/2 Bootmanager on the MBR 
of my primary HDD (with windblows and OS/2 on it) and lilo installed in 
the MBR of my primary slave HDD.  Bootmanager merely points to the lilo 
MBR on the second drive.  When I select linux, it works fine.  I assume 
that something quite similar would be expected in your case.
