I will check on this, thank you. 

For the benefit of people who might encounter a 
similar problem when trying to boot from Linux 
into an NT system, I report a "fix" which at least 
allows one to save a bit of time and headache. 

Following advice sent to me directly, I tried a 
few variations and found that the hang can be 
avoided by doing a shutdown from Linux, powering 
down, powering up and going into NT (from lilo), 
rather than rebooting from Linux into NT. 

Still a hassle, but better than before; much 
easier to live with. 

Thank to all for your kind advice.
