boot.ini following is an example:
[boot loader]
timeout=2
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Recovery Console - Administrators Only" /cmdcons
It can be modified with notepad, "BE CAREFUL" you can blowup your boot process

The boot loader on windows NT is NTLDR (abbreviation of NT Loader), including some of its later versions (2000/XP/Server 2003).
NTLDR, which contains the main boot loader itself, and boot.ini, which contains configuration options for a boot menu. To load an NT-based OS, ntdetect.com must also be present. Strictly speaking, only NTLDR is actually required. If boot.ini is missing, NTLDR will default to C:\Windows on the first partition of the first hard drive.

MBR is the LILO/?
The closest you have there is the ntdetect. ntldr is also a close one. Lilo like Grub is a Boot Loader.
