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.
