You might be able to do it with a very good boot manager. (not sure if the OS will like being booted from > 1024, but I am pretty sure it can). See, with a good boot manager in the MBR, you are already under the 1024 cyl, and it pivots out to another OS. You can try the Ranish boot partition Manager, partition magic (commercial), or use "bootpart" for NT (you can install just the boot manager). I think for the highest level of success, the first 2 have a better chance over the last two. I personally use bootpart for NT, but I also have a freebsd root slice of 40 megs in my first ide drive. Good luck.
