i have slink + NT workstation 4.0 on the same machine both booting from the
hard drive. i followed the instructions + downloaded appropriate software
(required only for NT part) from
	http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm
	http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/Multiboot-with-LILO
	http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html
and everything worked smoothly
