I have a similar setup and from great experince in dual OS's on one machine
this is the method I have had the least problems with.
Step 1:
Use OS/2's boot manager and install the boot manager in the first part of
the disk. Next create your NT partitions and set the first one as
installable. Reboot and install NT as normal. (This will disable the OS/2
boot manager.) Once NT is installed, set the OS/2 partition as active,
modify the boot.ini file and reboot this time back into the OS/2 boot
manager. Now create your Linux partitions and set one as installable. (Note:
I always create my swap parittion at this point). Reboot and install Linux
as normal but place Lilo in the root partition, not the MBR. This way you
can use the OS/2 boot manager to select NT or Lilo. From Lilo you can back
out to the OS/2 or NT partition if necessary. Kind of redundant, but I like
the system and have had no problems. Note: When installing Linux, do not
initially mount any other partitions or Lilo installation will fail. Only
mount the root linux parition. Once booted into Linux, you can mount
anything you like. I believe this is a bug in the install program. Anyways,
this is just a method I have tried and had no problems with. (I at one time
had Solaris, Win95, NT, and Linux all running from OS/2's boot manager.
