Dual boot manager??

[Gerald Combs]

Grub handles my dual-boot XP/Gentoo laptop just fine.  Here's the config:

default 1
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/esplash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda7 hdc=ide-scsi

title=Windows XP
root (hd0,1)
chainloader +1

The 'chainloader' bit is required for XP/2000/NT.  A description can be
found at http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub/html_node/chainloader.html.
