GRUB in Red Hat 7.3 will also it by default, but only with FAT32
Windows. They forgot to add NTFS detection to the 7.3 installer. I
complained and you can expect this auto-detection to work as expected
the upcoming next Red Hat version.
Unfortunately in Red Hat 7.3 you must add a chain loader entry manually
to your /boot/grub/grub.conf file. Fortunately this isn't too hard. My
/boot/grub/grub.conf reads:
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
I didn't like GRUB at first, but now I absolutely will never go back to
LILO. GRUB simply rocks.
