The Windows NT/2000 boot menu
Standard Windows 2000 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="Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
Adding Windows 98 to the boot menu
[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="Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:"Microsoft Windows 98"
Adding Linux to the boot menu
In the shell enter lilo -s /tmp/linux.bin and hit return. Then copy linux.bin from /tmp to your Windows boot harddisk.
Open boot.ini and add the follow:
C:linux.bin="Linux"
Example:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)WINNT="Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:linux.bin="Linux"
C:="Microsoft Windows Millennium"
This boot.ini boots Windows Millennium and Linux from the first harddisk and Windows 2000 Professional from the second.
