I have a solution posted at

	ttp://www.wizzy.org.za/article/articlestatic/14/1/2/

I use Toms Root/Boot to boot to linux to run lilo.

I do not think, however, that  Toms Root/Boot has NTFS support.

I think that knoppix might, and if it does, my solution would
work - as lilo uses absolute disk blocks.
