OK, I'm jumping in the middle here, but is your scsi built in or a pci card?
The motherboards' BIOS should allow you to specify the boot order. It
usually has options for IDE, floppy, and CDROM. It should also have an
option such as scsi, pci card, or other. I usually setup the CDROM as first
boot device, then my hard drives as the second.
If it is a PCI card, the scsi card's bios should have an option for booting
to scsi drives and an option for making removable drives bootable. It
should be set to boot to hard drives ONLY if your motherboards' BIOS doesn't
support scsi drives (unlikely). The setting for removeable drives shouldn't
matter.
If the scsi is built in to the motherboard, then the motherboards' BIOS
should be able to handle all the booting choices.
I would create a FAT partition on your IDE drive, install Win2K (being
careful not to reformat the drive NTFS), then set up LILO to boot Win2K.
Boot to Linux, edit /etc/lilo.conf, add a listing for DOS, then run lilo -v.
Check the Man pages for example listings.
This should allow you to leave Lilo on the scsi and boot there, then select
between Linux or Win2k for the OS. By installing Win2k on FAT, Linux will
also be able to read/write to the partition.
Good Luck!
