Dual boot Xubuntu and Slackware - load lilo while choosing Slackware

Xubuntu and Slack co-exist on one disk.
Please pay attention that both - Xubuntu and Slack are encrypted.

I use GRUB (installed under Xubuntu) to boot OSes - that works fine (both Xubuntu and Slack boot up).
Slackware has installed lilo on /dev/sda8 /boot as attempt to place it (by default) on /dev/cryptvg/root was giving following error:
Code:Fatal: device-mapper: only linear boot device supportedCode:

Question: how can I/can I let Grub load lilo while choosing "Slackware"latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=IauVpmqies0:-JoDc4AiQ30:F7zBnMy latest?i=IauVpmqies0:-JoDc4AiQ30:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=IauVpmqies0:-JoDc4AiQ30:gIN9vFwIauVpmqies0
