i have on my pc linux , nt and dos and all seems to coexist with no
problem

i installed first dos on an eide partiton , then linux on a scsi disk
(all for him that's better) and the rest of the eide disk ( on PMaster)
is for winnt 
i use  nt's boot manager and i installed lilo on the partiton boot record
of the linux partiton ... then i add  one line  to boot.ini ( nt's boot
manager )  

c:\bootsect.lin="Linux"      which mean  that the first 512 byte of my
linux partiotn (or something like that ) are on c:\bootsect.lin 

then on linux i  used dd

in this meaning (assuming c: is /dosc )

dd if=/dev/sda1   of=/dosc/bootsect.lin bs=512 count=1 
            ^
            my linux partiton

i hope this would clear your porblem too
