Hardware used:
Quad Pentium-Pro MMX 200 MHz with 256M bytes RAM
Two SCSI drives on motherboard embedded Adaptec SCSI

I first installed RH Linux 6.0 on the system.
I used Disk Druid to partition the first drive with two partitions:
first is a 2G DOS partition and second is 6G non-formated partition.
The second drive has the Linux Swap partition (280 MBytes) and Linux
Native for the rest of the drive.
LILO was on a floppy disk, which meant I had to boot from the floppy. I
did not write to the MBR. Linux did not support SMP from the floppy
boot.

I then installed Windows 2000 Server Beta 3 to the second partition of
the first drive.

I then rebooted the system off the RH CD-ROM for an update. I did not
add any more packages. Rather, the only change I did was to install the
bootloader/LILO into the MBR. On my system, I had to set LILO to use
linear mode for proper LILO booting.

I now have both RH Linux 6.0 with SMP, Windows 2000 Server with SMP on
the same system. Initial boot is now always through LILO.

PS. I did not try to see if I could have installed Windows 2000 first.
That may work too...
