Well, it wasn't so hard. I DID figure it out. I am new to Linux but
perhaps I represented myself poorly. All it took was getting the
bootsector from sda3 -- the extended partition -- rather than from
sda5-- the logical partition within it. NT loader now boot Linux just
fine. :-)  (I found this key missing tidbit of info in the lilo README
file.

Now on the the next learning hurdle.
