I don't boot W2K from Lilo, but boot Linux from NT bootloader. Try
looking at http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm which is what I use.
When you install Linux, don't have it overwrite the MBR (or at least
make a repair disk for NT/2000), and just have it write to the
partition that you are using for Linux. Then used bootpart to get the
boot info from the partition, and it will then configure NT bootloader
to boot Linux. Thanks. Nick.
