If you install Linux first, then NT, NT will notice the non MS-DOS
MBR boot sector and will install its boot in its partition.

I prefer this method, since the other:

means modifying this file every time the kernel is changed.

Also, I do the partitionning in Linux:

   /boot for Linux
   NT data
   Linux swap
   Linux root

If you do the partitionning in NT you get a lot of logical partitions.
