Is there an issue with using Lilo (or Grub) to dual boot with XP? I've never had any trouble with NT, although I didn't bother to skip the NTLoader, so I had two boot managers running at startup if I chose NT.
If you read my earlier post today, you'll see the details on how to use the XP boot loader. The reason why this is necessary is that XP has nonstandard MBR code, and can look to undocumented data structures outside the MBR/primary partition table sector for information about filesystems.
