It is certainly possible to use LILO to boot to NT or Linux. I do it every
day! I have heard that it also possible using the os/2 boot manager. My
/etc/lilo.conf is:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
other=/dev/hda1
        label=nt
        table=/dev/hda
image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hda5
        read-only

and my partition table:

Device     Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *        1        1      267  1076512+   7  OS/2 HPFS

I have only one drive so I dont know if there is any problems there. When I
installed linux I did this first wrote LILO to the MBR on a floppy and
checked everything was working. Made a backup of the MBR on the hard drive
with dd (see the how-to)
