Dual Booting Win NT and Debian

["Tristan Day <that's you!>" <GreenSideburns@csi.com>]

After going through the 'NT OS Loader + Linux mini-HOWTO,' I managed to dual
boot Linux and NT, but only using a boot floppy for Linux. Although I am
pleased that this time I installed Debian it didn't lock me out of NT, I
still want to dual-boot from my hard drive as promised by the HOWTO.

I have copied the bootsector using

dd if-/dev/hda6 of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1

and put it onto my c: drive, and put the line

C:\BOOTSECT.LNX="Linux"

into the end of my Boot.ini file, but on booting and selecting Linux from
the NT Dual Boot screen, I get

"NTDETECT 4.00

ERROR: NT CANNOT FIND THE FILE /WINNT/SYSTEM32/NTOSKRNL.EXE

PLEASE INSTALL THIS FILE AND TRY AGAIN"

and I have to reboot. I tried copying the bootsector of my boot floppy, but
the same happened again. NT is looking for another installation of NT, when
it should just load Linux.

Help!!!
