Well it is obviously not in the MBR. I would assume it is on the partition
that holds the NT. I will admit that initially we thought this could not be
done and we used the NT boot system to boot Linux. Then we found lilo will do
it. I have to admit that I would not stake my life on whether it works with NT
using NTFS rater than FAT but my memoey is that it does.
