I install NT on  the first partition, but do the partition and
with linux, put linux on the boot partition not on the MBR.

See 
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~zebee/laptop.html

It's my full description of how to do it.  it's based on RedHat 5.2 but
if you use 6.1 in expert mode you'll get fdisk.  Other distributions
you are on your own, but the theory should be the same.

It has a few UNSW specifics, but the basic setup will work
for anyone.
