I have both Corel Linux and NT on my company machine, booting with Corel
boot loader sitting on MBR ( this shit does not give you the option to
install it on any place but mbr). Actually, I don't use Corel at all, but
keep booting both OS with it's loader ( I think LILO ).
In the past, I use to work with RH and NT, with LILO on root partition.
