i want to boot both NT and Linux directly from the hard disk (dual boot).. is this even possible with an x86 machine? i want the x86 machine to somewhat match my Alpha, but i've never been successful in getting this to work.. NT always f*%@(^ up my boot sector.. could someone help me out with how to make this work?
