Booting Linux lewat XP

Untuk menambahkan kernel Linux Anda pada boot loader sehingga dapat memasukkan menu Linux dalam pilihannya, Anda harus menyalin kernel Anda ke partisi /drive Windows NT. Caranya:
1. Masuk ke lingkungan Linux. Siapkan disket jika perlu.
2. Dengan asumsi Linux Anda berada pada/dev/hda2 jalankan perintah berikut dengan account root :
# dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
3. Salin file bootsect.lnx ke dalam partisi Windows NT. Jika Anda dapat mengaitkan (mounting) partisi Windows NT di Linux Anda dapat menyalin langsung.
# cd /
# mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt
# cp bootsect.lnx /mnt
# umount /dev/hda1
4. Atau dengan cara menyalin ke disket.
# cd /
# mount -t msDOS /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp bootsect.lnx /mnt
# umount /dev/fd0
5. Selesai menyalin ke disket, jangan lupa untuk memindahkan ke Drive C:\ jika nanti sudah berada pada lingkungan Windows NT.
6. Boot komputer Anda. Masuk ke lingkungan Windows NT. Jalankan DOS prompt.
7. Sebelum mengedit file boot.ini hilangkan dulu atributnya.
C:\ attrib -r -s boot.ini
8. Lalu edit entri pada boot.ini guna menambahkan salinan kernel Linux Anda ke dalamnya. Edit bisa menggunakan notepad atau program edit di DOS prompt.
[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 NT Server"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Server[vga mode]"
c:\bootsect.lnx="Linux"
9. Berikutnya, kembalikan lagi atribut filenya.
C:\ attrib +r +s boot.ini
10. Boot komputer Anda dan lihat perbedaannya. Sekarang Anda memiliki menu Linux untuk di jalankan.
