Does /boot still need to reside within the first 1024 cylinders of the hard drive?
This link is from SuSE but I thought it was applicable across any distro?
Here's another from SuSE that talks about a step by step multi-boot setup.
My suggestion is get two hard drives if possible. Install win2k on the first one, install Linux on the second (being careful that LILO or GRUB doesn't write to the MBR of the 1st drive when it comes time. After you're done installing Linux, boot back into 2000 and surf over to BootPart so you can boot the linux install from NT Bootloader. This kind of assumes you're more comfy in win32 for now. It gives you a fallback OS is you completely screw up your linux os. |
