Aha, the old "I've tried it and it didn't work for me so it's not
possible" trick ;)
I do remember trying it with windows 2000, and I think I got it to boot
my redhat install, back in the days. I vaguely remember something about
editing .ini or .sys or something files on windows, but I don't have
windows 2000 or redhat any more. And you know what they say about
memories being created, so it may (or may not) be possible :)
