Not true. You can use LILO to load both NT and Linux. 
The problem is that in the boot sector you've got a pointer to the OS. When 
 you move the OS, you render it not bootable until you reset that pointer. 
If LILO is set up as the boot loader, reruning LILO will handle it for the 
Linux kernels, and SYS.EXE handles it for Windows98.
