Patrick,

I operate a similar system to the one you want - several OSes all
booting off the NT boot loader.  I still have LILO installed on the
Linux partition, however...

The steps I use are as follows (substitute in hdxx and /mnt/DOS for
whatever is appropriate to your PC for the bootable partition and mount
point for the DOS partition):

1. Run lilo at the command prompt, to update the boot sector on the     
Linux partition.

2. Mount the drive you are using to boot everything off (usually        
/dev/hda1).  Ideally it should be a FAT16 partition.

3. As root, type the command
   dd if=/dev/hdxx of=/mnt/dos/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1

4. Remove the read-only flag from /mnt/dos/boot.ini, and add an entry in
the [Operating Systems] section that reads something like

   c:\bootsect.lnx = "Linux"

5. Close and save boot.ini and reboot the PC.

Later,

Alan.
