Can't boot REDHAT since Mandrake 9.1 installed a new LILO

Hi Rick, hi Mark, hi Otto, hi other members of the list,
Today I installed Mandrake 9.1.
It installed a new LILO, completely neglecting my RedHat's GRUB.
I suppose it also has written a new MBR?
Now, I can't boot Red Hat anymore. :-(
I'm both embarrassed and confused.
Here's my partition table:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 3616 29045488+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda4 3617 14589 88140622+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 3617 4380 6136798+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 9151 9163 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 9164 14459 42540088+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 14460 14589 1044193+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda9 4381 4443 506016 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda10 4444 9150 37808946 83 Linux
Before I installed MDK 9.1, I removed partitions hda2 and hda3.
(Both used to be dedicated to my former MDK 9.0, so I took them out.)
The partition table is growing, and I can't figure it out, which OS is on
which partition.
I was told Windows has this nasty habbit of overwriting the MBR.
Aren't the Linux distro's supposed to have some respect?
Now I wonder how I can correct this situation.
I do have this nice floppy that used to boot RED HAT just fine, but now that
one doesn't work neither.
Can you please give me a hint.
Albert

You'd better check your plane, Rick!
Mark installed a ceiling fan, this week-end... ;-)
