Hi, Mary,
Yes, I've gotten Windows NT to share a large extended partition with both
Linux and OS/2. Here's the catch: I cheated. I used Partition Magic to
setup the partitions the way I wanted, and used OS/2's Boot Manager to
select the OS. LILO lived on the first sector of the Linux partition, not
on the MBR. Obviously, I used non-Linux tools to make this work.
I know it's not the answer you wanted, but it can be done.
Regards,
Cait
