Re: LILO Boot Disk

[Glenn Evanish <glenn pop06 odn ne jp>]

The obvious answer is to put LILO on a floppy, it boots Linux when the floppy
is in and NT when it isn't.  However, a more elegant solution (if I
understand your question correctly) is to boot using the dd command to 
put the Linux boot sector on the vfat partition and then edit boot.ini to
include Linux.  The NT + Linux HOWTO explains it.
