Hi Brent,
Your suggestion may very well work under Windows 2000, but when I first
encountered the need to dual boot Redhat and Windows 2000, the `customer'
wanted to use the Windows 2000 boot loader. I have used your method
(other=/dev/hda1) for Windows 95/98/NT systems in the past and it has
workked just fine.
Ivan.
