[wplug] BOOT.INI from winbloze

[Andrew Biggadike]

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+NT-Loader.html

The above HOWTO is helpful in explaining how to do what you want to do. 
Section 6, "The Windows NT part of the work," specifically addresses the 
boot.ini file, but you must snag a copy of your bootsector as described in 
section 5, "The Linux part of the work," first.

It's pretty straightforward.  The downside with using the NT loader to dual 
boot is that anytime you make an changes to your bootsector (such as by 
running lilo) you have to copy the new bootsector to where boot.ini looks 
for it.
