Very possible. Basically, install LILO on the partition Linux is residing
on, and point the NT boot loader to it. Basically, do this:
In lilo.conf, point the boot= entry to the place where linux resides. On my
box, the lilo.conf entry is boot=/dev/hda3
From Linux, do this: dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1.
Replace hda3 with where Linux is. Basically, this rips the boot record that
lilo just installed on /dev/hda3 to a small file.
Something, be it floppy, or disk copy, get this file (bootsect.lnx) to the NT
box. Place it in the root of C.
Load NT. Execute this command: attrib -s -r c:\boot.ini. Now open up
boot.ini in a text editor, such as notepad or the such. It'll look something
like:
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation ...
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation ...
Add this line to the end:
C:\BOOTSECT.LNX="Linux"
If you want Linux to be the default bootup OS, changce the default entry to
say:
default=C:\BOOTSECT.LNX
Save your new boot.ini file. attrib +r +s c:\boot.ini
Reboot. You're golden.. ;-P
