I've done that several times. The most important thing is not to use the
NT-Bootmanager, because it doesn't support the ext2fs and doesn't work
together with LILO either. Instead you have to install LILO in the MBR
(master boot record). As LILO does not support NTFS itself, you have to
mount the device you have NT installed on as an OS/2 partition. That
works fine.
 Best regards,
  Gerhard.
