Thanks Tom and others who replied. I am learning (although sometimes
the hard way) ;)
I have now also installed NT booting from /dev/hda. Can I still use
Lilo or is it saver to use NT's bootloader, going to Dos and use loadlin?
I do not want to learn the hard way again.

me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an
horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet

put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the
LORD." Psalms 40:1-3
