hehe, you've picked one of the msot troublesome isntalls I've seen in awhile
next to a dual Solaris/Linux install.
First off, if the boot loader for Win2000 can NOT be on an NTFS partition. It
will have to reside on a FAT32 or FAT16 partition. The LILO boot loader can't
hand off to the Win2000 boot laoder if the installer can't read the partition.
OK, so you have it on the 300MB FAT32 partition huh? Good for you, smart move.
Then install LILO to the MBR and NOT the first cylinder on the primary drive as
taht's wher ethe NT5 bootloader is living. Then pass the /dev/hda like you
would a normal Win98 dual boot (do a man lilo.conf and it will show you the
setup. Pay attention to the other= section). THat SHOULD get you going, but
with NTFS involved and/or chucking the boot process around a few times, things
can get kind of hairy.
