	The dual boot machine uses the nt loader with the mbr
made into a file but it goes like this (the whole disk is only 800M)

#  restricted.
#password=bootpwd
#restricted
boot=/dev/fd0
#compact       # faster, but won't work on all systems.
vga = normal    # force sane state
read-only
prompt
timeout=50
# End LILO global Section
#
image = /boot/vmlinuz
  root = /dev/hda2
  label = linux
You will notice the boot is floppy but the mbr was copied from the floppy 
and placed in c:\ bootsect.lnx.  You will also notice the lilo doesn't start nt.
The line image = /boot/vmlinuz is the important one here. When you run lilo 
it needs  to know /boot and root / then it can place that in the mbr.
You would have the section that points to windows.
