you can use XP/NT/win2k... bootloader to start Linux. just write LILO to a floppy, make a "image" of the floppy-mbr put that image as a lable in C:\ BOOT.INI, mine looks like this.
[boot loader]
timeout=2
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
C:\linux.ipl="LINUX"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect
a quick guide with a few more details.

1) make lilo write to floppy, have this line in lilo.conf:
Code:
boot=/dev/fd0
2) make a image of the floppy-mbr:
Code:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dev/fd0/linux.ipl bs=512 count=1
3) put a copy of linux.ipl in C:\ (from the floppy)

4) Modifiy c:\boot.ini -- add a line with:
Code:
c:\linux.ipl="Linux"
repeat 2) and 3) every time you run LILO.

Microsoft ntldr now believes you hae yet another windows installed. happy booting
