Thanks, this is very insteresting. I had assumed that multi-boot NT/linux could be done ony from lilo, now I learn that it can be done with the NT loader.

Just one question on the dd command below: the first parameter in reality is if=/boot, right?

Raffaele,
you have to perform these steps:
 - dd if0/boot of=linux.bin bs=512 count=1
 - copy linux.bin on the root partition of your
XP/NT/2k system
-  update your boot.ini appending the following line:
c:\Linux.bin="Linux"
Note that at that stage (while in the boot loader) NT
boot partition is "C" regardless on how how windows
names it.
rebboot and you'll have the nt bootloader booting both
O.S.

Hope this helps.
Ciao
Leonardo.

we installed lilo on the first sector of the /boot
partition, as reccomended by the RH help for NT-linux coexistence
on the same disk (in case of W95/98-linux coexistance it reccomended to
put lilo in MBR instead), but I admit I did not understand why.


What's this difference between W2K and W98m in terms
of bootloader?
