I've always had to play games to get WinNT to work, period. :-)

For a change, this isn't Microsoft's fault. Linux is actually the
mis-behaving OS in this case. LILO does something completely non-standard and
goofy by installing special code in the boot record of the partition table.
The MBR is supposed to load the boot record of the active primary partition,
*NOT* load an OS all by itself.
I usually recommend installing LILO in the boot record of the boot
partition, which makes Linux a well-behaved OS again.
