i have on my pc linux , nt and dos and all seems to coexist with no
problem
i installed first dos on an eide partiton , then linux on a scsi disk
(all for him that's better) and the rest of the eide disk ( on PMaster)
is for winnt
i use nt's boot manager and i installed lilo on the partiton boot record
of the linux partiton ... then i add one line to boot.ini ( nt's boot
manager )
c:\bootsect.lin="Linux" which mean that the first 512 byte of my
linux partiotn (or something like that ) are on c:\bootsect.lin
then on linux i used dd
in this meaning (assuming c: is /dosc )
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dosc/bootsect.lin bs=512 count=1

my linux partiton
i hope this would clear your porblem too
