There is some problem here. I had been using my machine dualbooting
with Lilo for NT and Linux. Worked like a charme. Lilo resided in the
mbr and it worked.

But now the NT uses SAFEGUARD and that thing sits in the mbr for the
pre-boot-password-authentication. So for all of you who do not know
SG yet: It starts booting ONLY if you entered the correct pw.

I have not done this before and ask for your advice:

Thanks.

How can I continue using LILO for NT/Linux dualboot
*when I need to make NT believe the orignal ("safeguarded") 
NT-Bootsector i the mbr, but want to use lilo in the mbr ACTUALLY
 
What to do?

I put it like this: I NEED lilo in the mbr, but can only boot 
with SAFEGUARD. So how can I tell lilo to run the SAFEGUARD sector,
which I have here in a file (512 bytes) ?

THIS is it! 
So how can I install Lilo in the mbr and tell Lilo to boot NT,
but emulate that BOOT using the SAFEGUARD-MBR
 
The lilo.conf section about chain loading is not clear to me.

Can anybody help? I re-read the man lilo all the time, but cannot
get on how to chain-boot a single sector (the SAFEG one) which then
starts to actually boot the NT.

Hope you now understand me. I have not had enough sleep because of
this problem :-)

Cheers mates!
