Strange enough, it works here without any tricks. MBR (unchanged) loads OS2BootMan loads LILO(20) loads NT. Of course I can also load NT from OS2BootMan. Config: /dev/hda3 MS-DOS FAT (C:) /dev/hda8 WinNT FAT (F:) /dev/hda5 Linux / ext2
Booting of NT goes via the boot secotr of C: and I got a selection to boot either DOS or NT from NT's bootloader.
I believe you just need a MSDOS FAT Partition to make your LILO load NT ...
