Subject: Booting Linux from Linux

I am about to install Kanotix rooted at /dev/hda6, with XP/ntfs on hda1 
and fat32 on hda5.

I want this to have exactly zero impact on the boot sector, to begin 
with.  So I will tell it to put grub on /dev/hda6, the root partition, 
rather than on the boot segment.

At the moment, the floppy is not working on the box in question, so I 
can't boot this installation in any of the normal ways.

Google on "Windows XP boot.ini".  XP can boot multiple OSs by editing this simple text file.  The MS Knowledgebase article is here.  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;289022
