There is a very simple way of getting Linux to appear on the Win 2K boot
menu.
In Linux, if you install LILO onto a floppy disk (only add a Linux label
don't add a Win 2K Label), and check that Linux boots OK from this disk.
You may also want to set the delay to 0 so Linux boots immediately. If it
boots OK then type the following:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=linux.ldr bs=512 count=1
now if you do a ls -l you should see the file linux.ldr which should be 512
bytes. If you can, you have succesfully ripped the boot sector from the
floppy disk.
Next copy this file onto the C: drive under Win 2K
Edit the boot.ini file and add the following line at the bottom:
c:\linux.ldr = "Linux"
save the file and restart the computer. When you reboot, you should see
another option for Linux at the bottom. Select this and Linux should load.
As and When you recompile your kernel, you will have to do this procedure
again.
Hope this works!
