Because I wanted to boot an NTFS partition also, I did 'make zdisk' after 'make bzImage' (linux kernel how-to) so I could boot from diskette...is that the problem?
Booting from a floppy is one way of doing it. You can use a kernel floppy like the one you have made alternatively just install lilo on /dev/fd0. NT/2k are strange beasts when using ntfs best way is to make your box dual boot. Have a look at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html. Basically what you have to do is install lilo on a linux partition, I always use a small 10M /boot partition, and point the NT bootloader to that. Feel free to mail me off list if you want any more info.
