win 2k comes with NT loader
I dont know if they have updated NT loader

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader
here is some snippet

as your boot device because the Master Boot Record (MBR) of your
harddisk is owned by Windows NT. This means that the root-entry and
the boot-entry in your /etc/lilo.conf have the same value. If you
have a IDE-harddisk and your Linux-partition is the second partition,
your boot-entry in /etc/lilo.conf looks like:
boot=/dev/hda2
If you have two disks and your Linux resides on the first partition of
your second disk, your boot-entry in /etc/lilo.conf looks like:

I have been in the list for three months, and found a lot of
people running with no probs with NT Loader and lilo on
