Lilo and NT
There is some problem here. I had been using my machine dualbooting with Lilo for NT and Linux. Worked like a charme.
But now my company uses SAFEGUARD and that thing needs the mbr for NT, I have not done this before and ask for your advice:
How can I continue using LILO for NT/Linux dualboot
*when I need the orignal ("safeguarded") NT-Bootsector instead of Lilo in the mbr?
What to do?

Drop LILO in the boot sector of whichever partition has the Linux /boot directory in it, and set the partition table such that the said partition is the active one. That should deal with this problem.
Best wishes from Riley.

Thanks Riley, but that did not solve it. See below. Must I change or delete the mbr on /dev/hda?
When I reboot it tells me that (I try to translate that from German here) it is missing a boot system. (something like operating system not found)
I guess that is because I have also win98 installed and now it (that means the rest of the data in the mbr) seems to search for win98, but now the activated partition is hda2-linux, including the lilo with these results:
linux:~ # lilo
Added l *
Added failsafe
Warning: CHANGE AUTOMATIC assumed after "other=/dev/hda3" Added w
Added memtest86
TABLE may not be specified near line 46 in file /etc/lilo.conf
What does that "CHANGE AUTOMATIC" mean?/dev/hda3 is my W98 partition.
And what about that sentence that the table
may not be specified? Line 46 ist the EOF!!! So what table???

Let LILO save the boot record in the /boot or / partition which ever is approriate i.e. where ever the kernel image resides. Do a dd of the first 512 bytes of the partition to which LILO has written to and save it in a file on the windoze partition. Add this to your NT boot loader option i.e. probably the boot.ini file specifying the path to the file you just created.
I have no idea of SAFEGUARD. This is enough to get Linux on to NT's boot
loader(if that is what is going to be called by SAFEGUARD).
