Simple. Your first distribution installed (lets call it A) has LILOA in mbr and boots its kernel by default. Your second distribution B, usually finds the swap and will use it, should have its LILOB on the partition, configured to boot kernelB and initialise the whole distribution. LILOA should present a menu where you can choose to activate LILOB. The stanca should look like this:

other=/dev/sdxx partition where distribution B resides unsafe read man lilo and man lilo.conf

LILOB does not need waiting period or menu selections, although a message saying "Now booting distribution B" may be nice if useless.
