Hmm this is interesting. I maintain a separate bootable windoze image on my laptop which I also run under vmware. In vmware I have to use the whole physical disk as the vmware disk so that the init loader and bootup stuff works. That exposes me to accidentally booting linux under linux and wrecking my filesystems. However if the vmware bios could be made to boot a different partition than the native linux boot this exposure would disappear. Anyone have ideas about that?
An idea (not tested): Create a boot manager in another disk, which can be virtual. This boot manager should be responsible of booting the partition you need. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
