Dave, a couple of things could be the problem here. First, we probably
need a bit more information. It sounds like you only have one disk?
What are your disks? SCSI, EIDE, ?
In general for one disk, make sure that your NT partition is formatted
for FAT, not NTFS. The stock kernel doesn't support NTFS yet. Make sure
your NT partition starts at the beginning of the disk (below the 1024
limit, so make it the first partition), and put lilo on the master boot
record of the disk. If you get a blue screen in this configuration,
try editing lilo.conf and putting a line of "fix-table" near the top,
something like this;
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
fix-table
prompt
Then rerun lilo and test again. If you have more than one disk,
there are a couple of other things that are easily tried. Lonnie
