I made post about booting Linux off fat32 partition
using GRUB boot sector chainloaded using Win2k boot.ini,
with help of Jochen Hoenicke I made some progress, but I wasn't
able to achieve what I was trying to do, so I'll just sum all it up:
1. Situation
I have following one IBM 75GB hard drive
How can I use grub to boot linux off fat32 partition?
The distribution is loopback device based, so it's
possible to load it using loadlin.exe, but the problem is
that I can't load it from win2k. Maybe it'd possible to
copy GRUB stage1 to file and boot linux using win2k's
boot.ini?
TIA

The simplest way is to copy all grub files to the fat32 partition to
the directory c:\boot\grub or c:\grub, and then install grub the
normal way into the MBR, using the fat32 partition as root.
