I definitely doubt think ecos-discuss is the forum you are looking for to
solve problems of this type. But FWIW, to solve this you will need to go
into linux and edit /etc/lilo.conf and perhaps simply just need to add
something like:
other=/dev/hda2
label=nt
Replace /dev/hda2 with the primary partition ID that has NT installed.
Obviously rerun lilo as root to install this in the MBR.
If you have any problems, you should look in /usr/doc/HOWTO and
particularly /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini which has numerous documents on how to
boot multiple OS's with lilo. Failing that, there are a number of relevant
newsgroups under the comp.os.linux hierarchy, particularly
comp.os.linux.setup.
