Somewhere in the archives should be a better example of setting lilo to
but what I did was (with NT on first) install lilo to the mbr.  NT does
not write to the mbr.  So, lilo comes up, I select NT, then the NT
bootloader kicks in and reads the boot.ini.

My lilo.conf:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=60
other=/dev/hda1
	label=NT,etc
	table=/dev/hda
image=/boot/vmlinuz
	label=linux
	root=/dev/hda2
	read-only
