AFAIK the secret is to choose a Bootloader which can understand NTFS partitions and boot them. The LILO that comes with Potato can't (from memory). Niether could CHOS ( I haven't updated it in a while, I swap my NT disk in and out) Later versions of GRUB or LILO from testing/unstable SHOULD be able to boot the NTFS partition I belive.
