It was not place the boot partition above cylinder 1024 so check the
layout of your disk, besides I belive this was due to some
biosstubborness, but here I'm not sure.

If your not planning to let 30 netscape run simultaniously 64 MB should be
fine for a single workstation

I'm not really familiar with with NT, I have NT and Linux and dos(+Win95)
I'm using the NT-Bootloader for booting ,this works fine .Have a look at
the Linux+NT-mini-howto.

Usually for booting a system it has to be on a primary partition, the rest
can be on logical one in an extended partition, ohh I just looked in ny
partition table and noticed that NT resides in an extended partition, so
this seems to work but I can't give you details about installation because
I didn't do it.
