I've just checked the 0.97 release and find the ntldr patch is not
included. What version of grub2 was the original ntldr.diff patch
against??
I would definitely would like to see this implemented. Plenty of ppl
out there with "bootmgr is missing" error messages requiring
Win7/Vista
bootup into recovery console to correct..This solution would rectify
that. Also means could bootup into XP or Win7/Vista with
separate entries in grub.conf, rather than navigating the Vista
bootloader to do it. Eg:
menuentry "XP on /dev/sda1" {
root (hd0,1)
ntldr /ntldr }
menuentry "Win7 on /dev/sda2" {
root (hd0,2)
ntldr /bootmgr }
