Yes, not quite so, true, not true, true, not true.
My disk layout (as you see, NTFS is not the first partition
and the other FATs aren't FAT16 but 28):
[root@wonko ~]$ fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2495 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 1 8001 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 2 261 2088450 17 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda3 * 262 522 2096482+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda4 523 2495 15848122+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 523 1024 4032283+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda6 1025 1834 6506293+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda7 1835 2095 2096451 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 2096 2356 2096451 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 2357 2421 522081 83 Linux

/dev/hda11 2461 2495 281106 82 Linux swap
The following lilo.conf entries do the trick and allow seamless
booting of winnt/2k and win9x (apart from linux of course):
change-rules
type = fat32
normal = 0x0b
hidden = 0x1b
type = ntfs
normal = 0x07
hidden = 0x17
#winnt/2k
other = /dev/hda2
label = 2
table = /dev/hda
change
partition = /dev/hda3
deactivate
set = fat32_hidden
partition = /dev/hda2
activate
set = ntfs_normal
#win9x
other = /dev/hda3
label = w
table = /dev/hda
change
partition = /dev/hda2
deactivate
set = ntfs_hidden
partition = /dev/hda3
activate
set = fat32_normal
Hope it helps someone.
