And it will work just fine if you install the os's in the right order. The
only reason for not putting lilo on the MBR is so that when the M$ os's
install and overwrite the mbr it is invisible to the user. Much easier
to admin that way. iow: if you install linux 1st then install an M$ os you
suddenly will not be able to find linux with lilo on the MBR. If you put
lilo on the boot partition and make the partition active with fdisk no one
cares what M$ writes to the MBR.
HTH.
