Naah, just needs to be a primary partition. lilo does the magic to look in the proper
partition.
I have done it from various disks even the 3rd and 4th disk and various partitions on
thse disks.
Now that I think about it I am not even sure it needs to be a primary for NT. I kinda
remember
getting it to boot from an extended partition but I am not sure. I have not done this
for a
couple of years.
