Coulda fooled me.

My boot.ini file ...

[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINNT="NT4" 
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINNT="NT4 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos
C:\="MS-DOS" 
c:\bootsect.be="BeOS"
c:\bootsect.lnx="Linux"
c:\bootsect.flp="Floppy drv"

the various bootsect.* files were grabbed from the boot sector of their
respective OSes using dd.  C: has DOS on it for games.  DOS thinks NT is on
D:, and vice versa as C: and D: get swapped whilst NT is booting.
