This doesn't work, since ntldr isn't a supported binary type.

An option I overlooked. I've tried it, but with no success. Forcing ntldr to load just prints four characters on screen, but doesn't start ntldr as expected. There are two possibilities: ntldr has to reside a a certain place in memory, or there is a displacement the correct start adress is loacated at ... > A) I repeat again, tell me how does it work for you.

Why are you interested in loading ntldr manually? I am interested, since I have to set up a test machine equiped with various versions of Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003, Linux in some flawers and last FreeBSD. Linux isn't a problem, as isn't FreeBSD. But Windows ntldr just doesn't allow for more than 10 selectable items while booting and there are 27 Windows versions (German, English, Chinese), with different Service packs applied to boot. -- Thomas _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
