Ok, folks... how the heck do I set up LILO to boot to NT as well as
Linux?

Here's my partition setup for my boot drive:

/dev/hda

hda1 : 80mb blank FAT16 Partition (multi-purpose boot partition that
isn't in use right now) (active)
hda5 : Linux ext2 (Debian 2.2)
hda6 : Linux swap
hda7 : NTFS Windows2000 Partition (NT is installed into the Winnt
directory)

Here's my lilo.conf file info:

boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda5
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
delay=200
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
image=/vmlinuz
    label=Linux
    read-only
other=/dev/hda7
    label=Win2k
    loader = /boot/chain.b
    unstable

I nabbed the other...unstable bits from a help page... and oddly enough,
it doesn't work.
Whenever I choose the Win2k option, it gives me a 'PRESS CNTRL-ALT-DEL'
message which, when complied with, bumps me into LILO again.

So what am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it?
