I have very similar, but I installed to the 1st partition of my 2nd drive,
and installed lilo to there.
Then I booted from a floppy.
at root I typed "dd if=/dev/hdb5 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1"
this created an file of the boot.
then copied it to a dos floppy "mcopy bootsect.lnx a:"
then back to W98/W2K
edited boot.ini and inserted "c:/bootsect.lnx="Mandrake 7 Air"
and finished off by copying bootsect.lnx from the floppy to c:/
I end up with windows nt bootloader working perfectly with the appropriate
Mandrake options, and no longer need to boot from a floppy.
Keep the floppy as a boot disk anyways.
