Check out the Linux+NT-Loader mini-HOWTO. Basically run LILO to create a Linux boot sector. Here's an example lilo.conf:
compact boot=/dev/hdb6 image=/vmlinux root=/dev/hdb6 read-only This assumes that Linux is installed on the second logical partition on disk 2. Change hdb6 as needed. Add kernel options as needed. After running LILO, copy the boosector to a file: dd if=/dev/hdb6 of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 Copy the bootsect.lnx file to the partition where boot.ini and the NT loader reside (perhaps via floppy if the partition is not mounted). Add the following line to the [operating systems] section of the boot.ini file: c:\bootsect.lnx="Linux" You'll want to replace your current LILO MBR with the original one by booting into DOS and running "fdisk /mbr" or using dd to restore the LILO backed up copy. Make sure the NT partition is active. After reboot, you should see "Linux" listed in the NT boot loader menu.

I have a MS-DOS partiton that currently boots MS-DOS or WinNT (using WinNT's boot menu), but I can't figure out how to specify a Linux partition in the boot.ini file. As an ugly work around, LILO boots Linux or MS-DOS. Then if MS-DOS, WinNT's boot menu boots MS-DOS or WinNT...
