R: M-TECH boot
Dear Nick,
Bill's suggestion should work. For fine-tuning and more informations:
there's a wonderful HOWTO on the subject, specifically on booting Linux and
Win. (It's either a MINI-HOWTO or a non-maintained one, but it worked fine
when I built my dual boot with Win95). There are lots of examples in there:
definitely worth looking!
