Hi,
No, you need to use the Linux bootloader.

Actually yes, you can use the NT bootloader to load Linux.No, you need to use the Linux bootloader.

You have to copy the Linux bootsector to a file then add that file to
the boot.ini.
Actually, I used this procedure, but many moons ago, and I'm presuming
that it still works.

Hi,
Never seen nor tried that, but it'd probably be far easier just to use GRUB
or LILO. Frankly, I prefer a third party boot manager.
