How to boot Fedora from XP NTLoader?

I have successfully installed Fedora into my Windows XP machine. I
have one IDE disk. XP is installed in hda1 (NTFS), and then I
installed Fedora in hda2 (/boot) and hda3 (/).

I prefer NTLoader, so during Fedora installation, I choose not to
install boot manager, but created a boot diskette instead. Everything
went well and smooth. I can boot into XP as usual, and also Fedora
using the boot disk.

However, I would very much like to boot Fedora from NTLoader menu. I
understand that I need to put a linux boot file (eg: LINUX.BIN) into
C:\ drive and edit the NTLoader BOOT.INI to add in the option. But I
have no idea on how to create this linux boot file. Any help would be
very much appreciated. Thanks.
