Install LILO on the linux partition, NOT the Partition Table (eg, on
/dev/hda2 , not /dev/hda )
In Linux, mount your W2k partition, writable.
dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/win2k/bootsect.lnx count=1 bs=512
Boot Windows.
Edit boot.ini , add a line like
Linux=c:\bootsect.lnx
At reboot, you will see a menu with "Linux", select to hand control to
lilo.
Remember to redo the dd line each time you re-run lilo. I sugegst placing
such a line in your shutdown script.
This works, tested. I am away from my home machine, contact me if you
need a boot.ini
