AFAIK lilo can not read from multiple disks _at once_. It can say read
from disk-A and from disk-B, but not from both at once.
there is a trick though: to allocate a large enough file and determine
where the contents map to, and pick out the blocks belonging to the target
disk(s). Then the image can be scattered across those blocks and fed to
lilo's chainloader. The image will only be on that disk. (the real image
file will be a big file, sparsely containing the real image)
