IIRC there is a line you have to add to lilo.conf to fix this. I just don't remember
what it is :^(

This is wrong.
My system first boot LILO, from there I choose linux or DOS. If I choose DOS, NT
loader starts up
and lets me choose between Windows 95 and Windows NT.
I have set up NT loader to choose between linux, DRDOS, Win95, and NT, but it's a real
pain and
easily upset.
