FWIW, I went ahead and tried the loadlin deal from the DOS config.sys
multi-boot and it worked flawlessly. I used the defaults from the
manual.txt as examples, and copied my linux kernel from my floppy boot
diskette for the boot image. The line is:
shell=c:\loadlin\loadlin.exe c:\loadlin\linux ro

They have a nice supportdatabase. The NT-Loader entry is

My experience is: install NT first, then install Linux, run LILO to
modify MBR (add a dos option as usual). After reboot, I got LILO prompt
first. If I select dos, NT boot loader came up, there you can select NT
or win95. This is quite different from what has been described in those
mini HOWTOs. So

There is a mini FAQ on this.. basically, to boot linux from NT's boot
leader you need to do the following:
1) dd if=/dev/hda3 of=bootsect.lnx /bs=512 count=1
(assuming your linux root partition is bootable and /dev/hda3)
2) copy bootsect.lnx to C:\bootsect.lnx
3) add 'C:\bootsect.lnx = "Linu
I'm not sure if my plan will work, but hopefully I'll find out this
weekend. Feel free to save me the trouble if someone else has
already tried this and it doesn't work... Actually I just realized
that I may not have time this weekend... but anyway...
My first hard drive has DOS and Win98 on it.
There is a mini-HOWTO on this and using BOOTPART:

hmm.. that won't work because NT is booting off the dos partition. I
tried setting the NT partition as the bootable partition and it complained
about not finding a NTLDR file (if I remember correctly).
Because NT's boot loader is much easier to use, I'd like to use it to boot
all three OSs. I'l
Check out the Linux+NT-Loader mini-HOWTO.
Basically run LILO to create a Linux boot sector. Here's an
example lilo.conf:
compact
boot=/dev/hdb6
image=/vmlinux
root=/dev/hdb6
read-only
This assumes that Linux is installed on the second logical
partition on disk 2. Change hdb6 as needed.
