My low reguard for LILO and Win2000 is that if you are using the Win2000
bootloader LILO will properly include it up but if, for whatever reason, you
should decide to remove LILO using the standard fdisk/MBR it will also
remove your Win2000 bootloader and even the Rescue disk will be able to
restore it.
This is not the case if you are using GRUB and is unnecessary if you are
using BootMagic or System Com.
BTW I have never used BM but I do use SystemCom2000 and it works well.
On my non-MS system I use it to boot between 5 OSes.

Personally, I could never get BootMagic to work properly. LILO, on the
other hand, worked fine even when triple-booting. Grub also works well.
