I use the NT boot loader on my laptop. To boot Lilo from the NT boot loader you ned to do the following
enter dd if=/dev/hd?? of=/ntdrive/linux.cnt bs=512 count=1 (where /dev/hd?? is the partition you installed lilo to and /ntdrive points to the nt C: drive) Edit your boot.ini file to look like the following (this configuration has linux as the default startup)
[boot loader] timeout=30 default=c:\linux.cnt [operating systems] c:\linux.cnt="Linux" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos
The boot/ini file has the system and readonly attributes so you will need to enter attrib -s -r c:\boot.ini before you edit the file. After wards enter attrib +s +r boot.ini to reset the file attributes.
Hope this helps

Hi what would I put in nt boot.ini in order to get linux loaded, I put lilo in the partition, as opposed to MBR, as Id rather use the NT boot loader... ??
Thanks Stu..
I did search the redhat site but couldent find the answer, mind you we were pretty busy at good old freeserve today which distracted me from the important things Id have preffered to be doing.. :)
