Source?
O btw, I’m talking about having linux NOT hardcoded into the bootsector or MBR. To my knowledge the methods used to boot linux from the vista loader still require linux be hardcoded into the bootsector. I have yet to see what you claim I don’t know about be done with XP’s bootloader.
I don’t need a source I know how to do it. All you need to do is make the grub stage 1 boot loader into a .bin and point boot.ini at it. Then you can boot Linux from the Windows boot loader menu. This does not require Linux to be “hardcoded” into the bootsector (which it doesn’t do anyways, Linux doesn’t have a boot loader. All it has is init which must be initialized by a boot loader such as grub, lilo, or ext linux) and wouldn’t work if Linux was “hardcoded” into the mbr.
