Actually, I didn't try using LILO on the MBR with NT installed, but with
NT, there is always the option to install NT boot loader in the MBR, and add
LINUX to the NT boot menu. I think there's a HOWTO about it, but mainly the
trick is to install LILO on the root sector, and then save the root sector
to a file on the NT partition, and then tell the NT loader (via boot.ini) to
load the file.
