Here's another little trick that worked quite nicely for me....
1. Install WinXX as usual.
2. Install Linux. Make sure to set lilo.conf
to put the LILO loader on your ROOT partition.
DON'T put it on the MBR!
3. Use the Linux "fdisk" program to make the WinXX
partition (/dev/hda or /dev/sda) inactive (not
bootable.
4. Make the / (root) partition bootable (asterisk
of fdisk is next to the Linux root partition.)
This has the effect of telling the PC hardware to search
for a bootable disk on something other than (h,s)da. Thus,
the LILO loader on the linux partition will be the first
device found, and LILO will allow you to select Linux/Win/etc,
as though nothing ever happened.
I have used this trick several times. It is easier to do so
(for me) than to edit boot.ini, etc.
