Is it possible to use NT's boot loader on /dev/hda1 to boot to linux
on /dev/hdb1? What setting should I put in the boot.ini file, as it
doesn't seem to be documented at all.
Thanks.

DOS primary set active FAT 250mbs
Extended FAT 1gig with
250 FAT logical
750 NT with NTFS logical
hdb is all Linux.
I don't know if this would work with the primary active being NTFS.

1. NT4.0 and Linux - how to dual-boot using NT's OS Loader
Yes. First install LILO to load from the superblock of your Linux partition,
or from a floppy (not the MBR). In my case that partition is /dev/hda5, and
the FAT partition that contains boot.ini is mounted under /dos.
You need to copy the loader to a file in the same place as boot.ini, so type
something like this as root:
head --bytes 512 /dev/hda5 >/dos/bootsect.llo
^^^^ ^^^^
your Linux partition your mount point
If you put LILO onto a boot floppy, use /dev/fd0 instead of your Linux
partition (I haven't tried it this way, but I can't see any reason why it
wouldn't work).
Now add the following line to boot.ini:
C:\BOOTSECT.LLO="Linux"
^ letter of drive containing boot.ini
Reboot, et voila.
