[ale] Adding entry to lilo.conf

I currently have both Windows and Mandrake 10 RC-1 installed on my HD
using lilo to dual boot.  I have added Arch Linux 0.6 to the mix and
want to be able to boot this from lilo.  Before I hose something up, I
just wanted to ask the correct way to add this to lilo.  Is it as simple
as adding an entry like 'image-/dev/hda9' and 'label="Arch"' to my
/etc/lilo.conf.  If I want to access the Arch drives from Mandrake,
would I also need to add the entries to my fstab?  Attached are my
existing lilo.conf and fstab files.  The Arch root partition is on
/dev/hda9.

Thanks for the input.
