NT must boot from c:, although it needs to keep only a few files on c: 
and the rest can go on another disk.  It must be cohabiting with Win 95,
which it will do.  If you can make a small second primary partition on the
first hard disk (/dev/hda2 - fips.exe will do it, if c: is fat16), then
you can install the NT boot files to /dev/hda2, set rewrite-table in
/etc/lilo.conf to switch the active primary partition, and boot straight
from lilo into NT, without choosing between NT and Win 95.  However, you
may not be able to see /dev/hda1 from NT, because for NT, c: will mean
/dev/hda2.
