Re: Linux/WinNT dual booting (an idea...)
There is a mini FAQ on this.. basically, to boot linux from NT's boot
leader you need to do the following:
1) dd if=/dev/hda3 of=bootsect.lnx /bs=512 count=1
(assuming your linux root partition is bootable and /dev/hda3)
2) copy bootsect.lnx to C:\bootsect.lnx
3) add 'C:\bootsect.lnx = "Linux"' to your boot.ini file
