Subject: Booting Linux from Linux

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

<SNIP>

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.
<SNIP>

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
