Very Computer

I installed WinXP across the entire 10gig IDE, and a small partition
of the scsi
(for booting), slackware 8.1 was installed on the scsi.

I did the whole 'bootsect.lnx' thing, configuring LILO to install to
'/dev/sda3'
(the partition where the entire linux is - including /boot).  dd
if=/dev/sda3 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1, got 512byte file from /
and copied to floppy
then to C:\.  Edited 'boot.ini' to include c:\bootsect.lnx="Linux" -
rebooted
and got a pause then a bunch of 0's across the screen (about 512bytes
worth).

I'm guessing that ntldr was able to find & access the file, but didn't
handle
it correctly...  I haven't seen any other posts with the same result.

I also tried making 'boot.ini' point to a batch file that called
'loadlin' but
that failed too (with no output)
