As Harry mentioned, there's a howto which works quite nicely, particularly
if your boot partition is NTFS.  I suspect the problems relate to using
NTFS as your boot partition instead of FAT.

On my machine, I had NT4 installed/booting off a FAT partition, which LILO
didn't seem to have any problems dealing with; I was using LILO as the
loader, not the NT OS loader as recommended in the howto.
