Hi Dan,
My host system is debian sarge (grub is default boot loader for it).
I cheked what menu.lst says about
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-686-smp
root (hd1,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-686-smp root=/dev/hdb3 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-686-smp
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-686-smp (recovery mode)
root (hd1,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-686-smp root=/dev/hdb3 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-686-smp
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
So, I guess You may want to add that "makeactive" to Your windows
section. I'm still strugling with compiling tool chain, so I cannot
tell whether initrd is needed to boot lfs.
