Better to use BOOTPART (BOOTPA20.ZIP, search the net). It runs under DOS. It will set up a dummy boot sector in the NT menu; that boot sector redirects and boots from your Linux partition, which has LILO installed in the boot sector. So you just run lilo as normal and don't need to update the one NT has.
