[Techtalk] The grub & boot.ini files

The /boot/grub.conf file

default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdb5 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi

title=Wintendo Win2k
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

(I have tried this also without the rootnoverify but that didn't work
either. I am hesitant to go the GRUB method again because last time I
could not restore the MBR and had to reinstall Windows ugh.)

The c:\boot.ini file

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect
c:\linux.bin="Linux"

Thanks in advance :)
