I am using NT's boot manager to choose between Red Hat 5.1 and NT 4.0.
Seems like I did this:

1. Install NT

2. Install Linux (LILO not in Master Boot Sector, but in Linux partition)

3. Boot to Linux from floppy

4. Mount an empty DOS disk fd0

5. copy first 512 bytes of my Linux partition to a file on the floppy (I
called it c:\bootsect.lnx) 

6. Reboot under NT

7. copy the file from the floppy to my NT C: drive \

8. Edit the c:\boot.ini file and add the line c:\bootsect.lnx="Linux"
