Boot Manager is a little weird though with Linux. At least it was with IBM fdisk in OS/2. Problem was that you could not ADD a type 83 partition to Boot Manager but you could create an unformatted partition, add that, then change its type in Linux fdisk.. In order for it to boot, you still needed lilo on the partition, but that's no biggie. ANY fdisk would have the ability to fix your boot manager if they broke it by overwriting the boot sector by just telling it to boot from the drive with boot manager on it. Unfortunately that means it takes up a primary partition...
