Linux will load with third party bootmanagers on MBR without LILO or GRUB being installed at all, but your / or /boot partition must be primary and active. Simplest solution for booting from a logical partition is GaG or Osloader, and LILO or Grub at / or /boot. It cannot really get cleaner than that, 2 completely independent OS'es and if something happens to your loader, including MBR viruses, it's fixable within one minute.
