There are at least 4 mini-HOWTOs on Linux+, including one,
Linux+NT-Loader, on how to boot linux with the NT loader. If you have a
distro CD, the HOWTO's are probably on it, in doc or docs; anyway they
are on ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini. If I had to
boot NT, I would use lilo instead. Here is what the lilo README has to
say on the subject:
LILO is a versatile boot loader for Linux. It does not depend on a
specific file system, can boot Linux kernel images from floppy disks and
from hard disks and can even act as a "boot manager" for other operating
systems.*
* PC/MS-DOS, DR DOS, OS/2, Windows 95, Windows NT, 386BSD, SCO UNIX,
Unixware, ...
- Windows NT is reported to be bootable with LILO when LILO acts as the
MBR and the Windows NT boot loader is on the DOS partition. However,
NT's disk manager complains about LILO's MBR when trying to edit the
partition table.
Most people recommend installing the M$ junk first, leaving room for
linux to bat cleanup, but I don't think it really matters. You should
be prepared to boot linux from a floppy the first time after instlling
any M$ product though. They have a rep for tampering with the MBR.
