This is not true.  I have WinNT 4.0 (Japanese) and I boot it from lilo.
I have had no problem in particular with WinNT.  It seems to function
just as Win 95, only when I boot WinNT, it boots to WinNT's boot 
Manager and then I can boot WinNT. 

The following is my lilo.conf:

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
append="ramdisk mcd=0x320,10"
boot = /dev/hda
#compact        # faster, but won't work on all systems.
delay = 50
vga = normal    # force sane state
ramdisk = 0     # paranoia setting
# End LILO global section
# DOS bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1                 <--  WinNT is here
  label = dos
  table = /dev/hda
# DOS bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz                  <--  Here is linux
  root = /dev/hda3
  label = linux
  read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz-slack            <--  This is another slackware
  root = /dev/hdb2                      installation I use to test things
  label = slack
  read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Old Kernel Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz971109            <--  An old kernel in case I mess up
  root = /dev/hda3                     when recompling
  label = linuxold
  read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends

Hope this helps

Rob
