The machine originally had W95 on its C drive.  I then added Linux (Red Hat 5.0) 
and installed LILO. Later I installed NT4 in another partition. To make it bootable 
with all the 3 systems I did the following:

1.   I boot with Linux and login as root.
2.   Then I copy the bootsector to a file: "dd if=/dev/hda of=/boot/linboot bs=512 
count=1" 
3.   I change in /etc/lilo.conf "boot=/dev/hda" in "boot=/boot/linboot"
4.   I run again LILO
5.   I copy the file "/boot/linboot" to c:\linboot
6.   I add to c:\boot.ini" the line:  c:\linboot="Linux"

Now I have in my NT startup menu also the possibility to choose Linux.
