Andreas,
I am not sure how you find out exactly where the kernel is on the
disk. I am sure it can be done, but I have not had to do it yet...
As for where your kernel has to be, as long as LILO can find it,
and load it at boot time, that is all that matters. You don't need to
access once you have Linux booted up - it is in memory. As for how you
would specify it in /etc/lilo.conf, you use the same path as you would to
specify a file for any command that takes a file name. For example, lets
say you mounted your NT partation on a mount point called /mnt/NT, and
your kernel was in a directory called Linux on your NT partition. You
would use something like:
image=/mnt/NT/Linux/vmlinuz
For this to work, you have to have your NT file system mounted. It can be
mounted read only, but it must be mounted.
I hope this clears things up for you...
