But, is LILO installed in MBR
ie is the line
boot=/dev/hda
or is it
boot=/dev/hdax (where x is the partition number)
What I have found is: You need DOS MBR to bring up the NT bootloader (else
NT hangs). But you can call NT bootloader from LILO installed on another
active primary Linux native partition.
If you have LILO on the MBR and LILO can call the NT bootloader which can
boot NT without hanging, do tell me what you've done.
