Theoretically, both solutions should be possible. You should be able
to use NT to load LILO and you should also be able to use LILO to
start the NT bootloader. I have seen both solutions work before, but
in my experience the former has _always_ worked whereas the latter
would sometimes break for completely unknown reasons and I was then
never able to fix it again (this has been nagging at me; I am not
usually somebody who is easily defeated by a computer doing something
I don't want it to do). So now, all my machines are configured so that
the NT boot loader starts LILO when I want to run Linux. I haven't
tried loading an etherboot image this way, though.
