I wrote a little utility a year ago, called ChaiNT. It acts like a boot
sector on the NT side (i.e. you can enter it in your boot.ini file) but
replaces itself with the bootsector from one of your primary partitions
(selectable by number or by partition type). After that, you'll never
have to copy your LILO boot sector again. Have a look at

The README is in german, hope you don't mind.
