After installing and running NT, if I install Linux and ask for LILO to
be in MBR of /dev/sda, it overwrite NT loader and hangs after "LI" - so
nothing boots. I have to use fdisk /mbr to get again NT at least. If I
put an linux entry with the BOOTPART etc, into NT's loader it says: no
system disk or not bootable disk or sth like that (when I choose Linux
to boot). Any idea?
