    I just installed RH9 on my machine and I'd like to have that reside along
    with Win2k and WinNT 4. Here's my hard drive setup:

    Hard Drive 1 (Master):
    Partition 1: Win2k
    Partition 2: RH9

    Hard Drive 2 (Slave):
    Partition 1: WinNT 4

    GRUB is able to boot into RH and Win2k alright, but when you select WinNT,
    it boots Win2k instead. Here's a copy of my grub.conf and device.map files
    for GRUB:

    ---grub.conf---

    #boot=/dev/hda
    default=0
    timeout=10
    splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
    title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
    title Windows 2000
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1
    title Windows NT Workstation 4.0
        rootnoverify (hd1,0)
        chainloader +1

    ---device.map---

    (fd0) /dev/fd0
    (hd0) /dev/hda
    (hd1) /dev/hdb 

    ---
I've tried modifying the options for the NT portion to everything I can
think of but it always boots to Win2k.  Is this a problem with WinNT or is
there anyway to get rid of this problem?
Thanks in advance,
~Jeff
