About LILO on the MBR with NT installed:

Funny, it worked fine when I did it (on my thinkpad 760) : LILO was on the
MBR, and it gave the choice of loading Linux or NT. (if you chose NT NT's
loader came up)

IMHO it's easier to configure LILO to allow booting both than to configure
NT's bootloader.

I had installed NT before Linux.

Yes, putting LILO on the /boot partition will work too; but you'll have to
copy that boot sector to a file on the NT partition and then change some
settings for the NT loader.
