If I understand properly, ntldr does not leave a place for another boot
loader.
Solutions to that are:
- LILO is the primary (MBR) boot manager, ntldr is secondary (resides on
boot sector
of some primary partition) and LILO runs ntldr as "other"
- ntldr is the only boot manager, but boot sector created with LILO is
copied to file and
is bootstrapped by ntldr as though it was DOS. RFM "LILO+NT" mini-HOWTO
Well, maybe I am answering the wrong question :)
