You must decide what you want to do first. If you desire to keep
2k on the MBR then the process is same as in Win-NT. See the
LOST tip from Shridhar below. The response from Ajay Shankar is
excellent.
If you want to do through Linux you need to install LILO on the
mbr, change the lilo.conf and re-run LILO.

Sub : Linux through NT boot loader LOST #082
To add linux to NT boot loader menu, in Linux do:
#dd -if=/dev/hdaN -of=/tmp/boot.lnx bs=512 count=1
[where N is the partition of the Linux "/" (root dir)]
Ensure /tmp/boot.lnx is 512 bytes. Copy it to c:\ of NT.
Append 'c:\boot.lnx "linux"' 'to c:\boot.ini and you are done
