Since you're already using the NT boot loader, why don't you just add linux to the NT boot loader menu rather than using loadlin? I used to have NT 4, DOS, and Linux and I used the NT boot loader to decide which to boot to. I forget exactly how to set up the NT boot loader, but I know it wasn't hard... I believe I found the info in a HOWTO somewhere. I know that I had to use dd to rip the boot sector from my linux partition into a file, put that in my NT root directory, and add an entry to the config file for the NT boot loader.
