Install LILO to the MBR of the drive with windows. Put both Slackware
and Windows in the prompt to choose from. That's what i did.

Note: A little oddity. After doing this boot the computer with just
the Lilo/windows drive in. When lilo comes up, turn computer off,
reattach other drive, reboot. On my system this seems to make the
computer remember which MBR to read off of first. Do this after
everything is installed of course.
