Lilo can be installed in the mbr, if you use a primary partition for
ms-dos. After the Installation of msdos install linux or windows nt.
In this special case, the nt-loader will be installed in the
primary dos-partition. lilo can no be instructed to boot NT via the dos
partition.
for example:
10 MB DOS partition (primary partition, with dos-fdisk)
2 GB extended partition for NT (via NT installation process)
4 GB extended partition for linux (with linux fdisk, cfdisk etc.)
hda1: msdos
hda5: linux
hda3: nt (nt was installed at last)
some snippets of my lilo-conf
boot=/dev/hda
read-only
image=/vmlinuz-2.1.125
root=/dev/hda5
label=Linux
#
other=/dev/hda1
table=/dev/hda1
label=WinNT
Hope it helps ....
