There is a easier solution.  Download the latest version of lilo.  Use it to 
boot NT from the boot sector rather than a partition.  For example, I boot 
win2k from lilo with this in my lilo.conf.

boot=/dev/hda
...<other stuff>...
other=/dev/hda1
        label=win2k
        table=/dev/hda

Get lilo from: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo/
This version of LILO also supports booting linux past the 1024th block, 
something I was happy to see.
