I am dual booting Windows NT and Linux on my system; I use LOADLIN.
Here's the procedure:
1. If Windows NT was installed on top of DOS, you should see an
'MS-DOS' option.
2. Boot up Linux with the disk. Mount your hard drive with NT if it
isn't already. Create a directory called LOADLIN in your NT partition.
3. Copy LOADLIN.EXE from your distribution's CD to C:\LOADLIN.
4. Copy your compressed kernel image (/vmlinuz or /boot/vmlinuz) to
C:\LOADLIN.
5. Add the following to AUTOEXEC.BAT:
C:\LOADLIN\LOADLIN image=vmlinuz root=/dev/hdxx
Where hdxx is your root partition device (or sdxx if you have SCSI)
(Not too sure about this. Check your docs)
6. Edit BOOT.INI (make it writeable first). Change 'MS-DOS' to 'Linux'
if you want.
7. Reboot your system (no disk in A:), choose Linux', and you're ready
to rock!
