Linux - Win2000 boot problem

Hi,
I have a dual boot machine RH 7.0 and win2k, which i boot thro lilo, and this works fine. 
I came across a how-to on the net, http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html
which basically says how to Boot Linux from the win2k/NT Boot Menu. 
I copied the first 512 bytes and referanced it from the boot.ini file. 
The linux option appeared on the Boot Menu of win2k. However, selecting it gave the error "Linux
8080808080....." and it  basically hung . Help!!!!
cheers,
Venkat
