LILO needs BIOS-level access to hdc3. Perhaps this doesn't work on that
system. Does /sbin/lilo give any warnings when you run it?
I suggest that you get BOOTPART, and let the NT boot manager run
first. When you pick Linux from the boot menu, the boot sector
stuff installed by BOOTPART will let you boot Linux. I have Debian
on hdb5 here and I use the NT loader first.
