I've heard that win2k won't stand for LILO replacing its own MBR. The
alternatives I know of are:
1) Put a boot floppy in when you want to boot Linux
2) Use XOSL http://www.xosl.org - a GPL universal bootloader that's
compatible with linux and all wins.
3) I don't know if wintoes will stand for not being on the primary hard
drive, but if it will then you could hook it up as secondary (something other
than /dev/hdb) and let linux have your MBR.
